Le Grand Courtil Crozes-Hermitage Syrah

Perfect crozes. Dust, earthy and mindful. Great balance of acidity and tannins and keeps you coming back for more.

Dried everything. Violets, plums, blackberry. Dusty cassis and an ever present spry acidity that is quite pleasing. A great value and overall solid showing.

black berries, violets, feral, granite ~ cassis w dusty herb & powdered stone finish

Nice earth tones - some beef blood but less cut straw than other N. Rhones

Massive. Dirty. Great stuff

Le Vineur Northern Rhone blind tasting. Nice development during tasting, good value. Lacks a punch and concentration.

Cooler year, nicely developed, very smooth tannins. Overall lovely drink with a rosemary and pepper heavy steak.

Sour cherry, with hints of nutmeg and clove. Quite young with front of the mouth tannins.

2010 vintage.
