René-Jean Dard & Francois Ribo
les pins Crozes Hermitage Syrah
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Chambord, licorice, garrigue, roasted bacon, crushed black cherry, lavender pastille, smoke, menthol, crushed rock, more roasted herbs, hot iron. There’s depth here, the structure and body pushing towards Hermitage. This is my favorite cuvée from DetR and running for best of the Crozes appellation in my opinion.

Apr 19th, 2021Sandy, decomposed granite soils. Richly textured with a firm, tannic backbone support its dense fruit. Ripe, pushing soaked, black fruit, roasted meat, garrigue, talcum, menthol, violet, leather, and loads of pepper. There’s a firm thread of granite and sanguine throughout. This is wound up, I love the texture though, grainy and raw. It needs some time to harmonize its finish. Baby Hermitage!
