Domaine de Thalabert Crozes-Hermitage Syrah

Love this wine and super good value too for around $35

What a value. Love this wine. Dark and brambly. Super clean with soft but very present tannins. The texture is really what stands out

Compared to cuvées 14, or 16 tasted, it is very good but not yet quite commensurate with what this wine can give. To be allowed to age another 3.4 years.

Au regard des cuvées 14, ou 16 goûtées, c’est très bon mais pas encore tout à fait à la mesure de ce que ce vin peut donner. A laisser vieillir encore 3,4 ans.

Nariz: mora, arandano, pimienta, aceituna, algo carnoso, cuero, vainilla

Boca: Tanino M+, Acidez M/M+, Alcohol M.

Bueno, se beneficiaria de unos años mas en botella.

Impressively complex for the price. Lilting purple flowers, black cherry, black plum skin, raspberry compote, tarragon and something like fresh sweet mint leaf which I’ve never had from Syrah. Great acid.

Soft peppery notes, blue hues, incense. Great young syrah

Liked the 2015 allot. This one not so much
