Classic, straight-ahead Crozes displaying all of the usual savor and fruit components. Black pepper and sage are fairly dominant, with shades of violet and cassis.

Nose of olive, tar, dried currant, sage, and a bit of smoke. Quite savory overall.

Those dried dark fruit notes hit up front with a touch of smoke. The savory olive and pepper notes fill out the mid palate with lingering violet and chocolate. Med acidity and smooth med- tannin.

Tasty, good complexity, and quite approachable now. I like.

This is the driest "Slooty" Crozes I have had in a long time. Its makes me feel as if I should slip it a $20 when Im done drinking it, for cab fair... Yet if you brush through the dirtiness. You come for a very fun puzzle of East, funk, and linear lazer kitten fur that makes you want to just pound it.
