Peaking. Such a rich, complex nose. Rusty iron, crumbly granite, peppercorns, bresaola, and, yes, dark spicy blackberry essence. Mouthfilling and savory. Soft-textured. Long dry finish. If you like fruity, this is not your wine. But it’s a really nice Crozes in the savory mold.

What a nose. Violets. Very nice. Juicy and ripe with tremendous depth and purity. Terrific.

Earthy, lighter and minerally. Not all that fruity- very enjoyable.
