Lovely nose. Developed some since last time. Tar, tobacco, mineral, granite, red berry fruit, lipstick, nice aromas. Integrated. Palate is juicy and ripe with terrific freshness and acidity. Nice clarity and length. Velvety tannins. Peppery finish. Terrific.

One of the best Crozes's I've ever had. Lots going on in the nose. Freshly-split rocks, smoky beef jerky, brambly, spicy blackberries. Mouthfilling and plush. Each molecule of dark blackberry fruit seemingly is accompanied by a molecule of smoky, stony minerality. Nice acids and a lengthy finish. Great value at around $20.

Energetic nose of artisanal beef jerky, cracked peppercorns, and intense cracked granite minerality. So mineral in the mouth, with some blackberry fruit behind it and some pink grapefruit rind. Lively and intense, but chiseled.

Feb 14th, 2017Love this wine. So delicious. Bacon, flowers, granite, leather and dark red berries on the nose. Really aromatic and soft nose. Elegant and fresh palate with beautiful and wonderfully fresh fruit and some light chalky tannins on the very peppery finish. Needs a few hours to flesh out but what a great value. Terrific showing for this tonight.

Apr 3rd, 2016Blizzard Crozes. Lovely, ethereal nose of violets, bacon, olive tapenade, incense and deep blackberry fruit. Classic. Well proportioned aromas. Palate needs a bit to flesh out as is typical with this wine but a nice granite core with deep blackberry fruit and black licorice. Terrific purity and freshness. Will open up more i'm sure. What a value.
