Have not had in 2 years. It’s awesome now. Nose is olive and game. So wild. Black and red berry fruit. Granite galore. So fine. So refined. Gorgeous and wide open. Palate is a wonder. Super juicy and decadent but allied with terrific freshness and a smoking granitic finish also with notes of game, herbs and olive. The nose is a 9.6. Outrageous. Wow this is juicy. I’m going 9.5 here. The purity and clarity of fruit puts it over the top.

Feb 6th, 2022I adore this Crozes. 85+ year old vines from elite Crozes terroir. Lovely nose. Gamey, feral, spicey, so comforting, gravy, pepper. White and black spice. So so complex. Olive. Huge granite. Juicy and sensual with a musky inner mouth perfume. Big black and blue fruits. Opulent and rich but also fresh and energetic. Minerals clean up on the finish. Fantastic.
