Crozes Hermitage Au Fil du Temps, Darnaud, Emmanuel 2020

I loved the 2020 Crozes-Hermitage Au Fil Du Temps, and this beauty has everything you could want from a great Crozes. Deep purple-hued, with gorgeous dark fruits, peppery herbs, spring flowers, and background oak, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, and a great finish. It's a stunning Crozes readers will love to have in their cellar. It's great today yet should evolve for well over a decade.
