Crozes Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert, Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aine 1998

The 1998 Crozes-Hermitage Thalabert has closed down, revealing austere, herbal notes. Feb 2001

The 1998 Crozes-Hermitage Thalabert does not possess a lot of fat and thickness, but it is still an excellent wine that merits serious attention. Its dark ruby/purple color is followed by a textbook nose of cassis, Asian spices, and salty black olives. Medium-bodied and rich, with good ripeness and moderate tannin, this wine should be consumed over the next decade. Oct 99
