A fragrant nose of spiced cherries, ripe blackberries, dried herbs, baking spices and hints of earth follow through to a medium body with finely grained tannins. It has precision with a slight bitterness on the mid-palate. Layered and funnelled with a mineral edge. Long savory and spicy finish. Best after 2026.
The 2020 Crozes-Hermitage La Guiraude is slightly richer, with lifted black cherry, currants, violets, and peppery, incense-like notes in a medium-bodied, fleshy, nicely textured profile. It's a successful Crozes that should have a decade of longevity.
