Slightly over the hill. This one aint getting any better. Funky on the open. Medium bodied, so not flashy, but a simple drink with hot dogs, and backyard burgers. It was ok. Salesman thought this was the best Crozes he had ever had which made me question his Northern Rhone cred. For me it ain't no Chave or Graillot - so there it is. Not a bad drink, but just not made for the long haul. Drink this up.

Dark red with brown edges. Starts out with the typical blue fruit, meat and pepper then becomes a bit green then the nose collapses after a couple of hours. Lots of fuzzy tannins and a rich but dry finish. Hmm.

Deep red/black. Lots of young Syrah notes on the nose. Blueberry, plum and hints of black pepper and bacon. Quite rich and sweet for a wine from this vintage. A very good wine.

Dark red/black. Huge nose of black pepper nd red fruit. Even some meat and blood notes. Very rich flavours. Long dry finish. I like this wine a lot.
