The 2010 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert, which I raved about last year, is slightly better than their brilliant 2009. It boasts a dense purple color along with a beautiful perfume of camphor, licorice, forest floor, black currants and Christmas fruitcake. With tremendous intensity, full body and supple tannins, it should drink well for 10-15 years, perhaps longer where well-stored. This cuvee is always one of the best buys in the Northern Rhone.
NB vintage. 40 ha! Very glamorous deep crimson. Black-pepper notes on the nose and then some relaxed fruit on the palate at last! Racy and broad - this wine has come on very nicely. Long and punchy. Appetising. Drink 2014 to 2020.
