Les Launes Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe dark berry fruit and floral spice. On the palate juicy jammy flavors of black plum and blackberry fruit, vanilla, earthy pepper and black olive notes, vivid acidity, good balance. Firm tannins, long finish ending with spicy fruit character. Drink now and over next 5 years. Good value.

OMG the nose is like going into a butcher’s shop or a charcuterie specialist: deep meaty, spicy, attic-dust (sure there’s some fruit and flowers in there, in the back room); taste is med. in acids, med+ tannin, balanced and long. This is the best bottle (375ml actually) of this producer I’ve yet had and will go get more pronto.

I’m a big Crozes Hermitage fan. Found the 2018 Les Launes on sale for 17.99 at BevMo’s. Went back the next day to buy more. Exquisitely balanced with enough personality to hold up to food. Very much impressed.

2018 vintage. Consistent. 8th time I’ve had this wine this year. Pretty delicious for $17.99 retail.

Nov 30th, 20212018 vintage. Perfect Thanksgiving wine. Spice. Body. Licorice. Herbs. Last bottle out of four tasted since May of 2021. Hopefully, I can find a few more bottles since the price is hovering around a 20-spot.
