Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet
Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
In the pocket right now. Dark fruit, game, and a savory edge of violets, black olive, and coffee grounds. Lovely wine. Enthralling from nose to finish. My last bottle unfortunately.

Dec 25th, 2020Great wine. Great vintage. Classic Northern Rhône as smoked meat and violets immediately leap out of the glass. Will certainly improve for another 5-7 but it’s so tasty right now.

Cellar time has done it well, though still needed some air to soften the tannins. A bit of game on the nose, light in body for a C-H.

Dec 26th, 2018Lovely. Pretty textbook. Violets, black pepper, not gamey but had a slight wild/bramble quality. Ripe tannin.

Well balanced with great concentration and finish. Fine grained dusty tannins. Earthiness, blackberry, eucalyptus, black cherry and a meatiness reminiscent of peppered pork. 100% Syrah.

Clear, bright, ruby in color with medium concentration and a garnet rim. No sediment and medium viscosity. Nose: sound, med+ intensity, vinous, black cherry, blueberries and ripe black current. White pepper and violets on the nose with some slate and caramelized ham.....just the caramelized part, barn/turned soil earth with a touch of tar. Cedar and smoke linger. Palate: dry, med body, ripe blackberry with dried currents and blueberries, black pepper, white flowers and meat on the palate. That ham flavor comes through with smokey cedar oak with hints of caramel. Makes me wish i was in the woods in a cabin. Med+ tannins, med- alcohol(12.5%), med acid, med finish with med+ complexity. Cheaper wine with a lot to offer.
