Les Marguerites Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Sappy boysenberry fruit that hides some pretty peppery/smokey spice at the moment. Enjoyable now due to the lush '15 fruit but in 4-7 years this will be stupendous

May 19th, 2016I was absolutely blown away by this stunningly approachable (yet age worthy) crises hermitage. The fruit is lush and beautiful on the nose with leather and bright herbs to accompany... The palate is velvety in texture. This finish has some grip. Really a complete wine for how reasonably priced it was from balanced wine selections (I you're not already on their email list, you should be)

Oct 18th, 2015Wow! Loads of rich dark berry fruit here but balanced with acidity and tannins. Best Crozes Hermitage I have ever had.
