Hands down the best Crozes I have tasted in 2016...loads of fruit with some olive taste...not much peppers otherwise the score would have been higher. For the price this is a very good buy. — a day ago

Best terroir in Crozes. Nose is herbal, rocky, with bright berry fruit, super mineral and loamy. Loads of wet earth, almost moss. Blackberry coming with air. Palate is exquisite, complex, bacony, meaty, juicy and so so deep. So fresh and pure. Exceptional density and loads of granitic minerality. Long and complex with terrific restrained opulence. Lovely. Really showing well. — 16 days ago

Lockdown celeb 2. Entry level hermitage for a friend to try. Rather dissapointed. Definitely pepperu and light but not very complex. Rather dull and lock up. Bitter and hollow — 11 days ago

The very rare Greek Hermitage is just wow. Sick nose of blackberry, blueberry, herbs, lavender, granite, so so so aromatic. So vivid, wafting and detailed. Huge huge granite. 9.7 nose. Just amazing. Palate is so young but will good. Stunningly concentrated but so elegant. with black fruits and velvety tannins. So opulent, with just massive power and depth. This is so grand in every way. Regal. This will open up and I’ll be back as my score will go higher. From 9.5 to 9.7 with air. What texture, what power, what finesse. This is world class. What a finish. — 22 days ago

2017 vintage. Textbook Crozes-Hermitage. Bright black fruit and vivid Northern Rhône Syrah acidity. Finishes with an attractive peppery punch. Great evolution in the glass. A versatile food wine too. Terrific value at less than 15 euros. Abv. 13,5 %. — 11 days ago

1990 JL Chave Hermitage Syrah. Drank with pork chops. Roses, sour cherry, blueberries, lead, ox blood. Decanted over an hour before serving, but it kept getting better through the night. I think I preferred the 2000 Chave bottle from the other night. More complexity to it. Neither of us loved this wine as much as we thought we would, but still delicious. This is definitely a “food wine.” Next time, we should we decant 2-3 hours before serving. — 17 days ago
