Really nice Crozes with those pepper and bacon notes you expect but plush black fruit forward too. Quite tight — I got the real experience at 2.5 hours open. — a month ago
Smoked meats/sausage and cola on the nose, garnet color and medium-plus body, silky taste. Smooth, plum and raspberry, nice modest acidity, light vanilla notes, elegant finish. — 4 days ago
Bright ruby color with garnet highlights. Aromas of ripe red and black fruit, Asian spices, wet soil, garrigue and wood ash. Flavors of cranberry, red cherries, red plums, tobacco, Earl Grey tea, dark chocolate, grilled herbs and baking spices. Long and lingering finish. Dusty tannins, firm structure and bright acidity. Lovely concentration and mouth coating texture. Bring on the grilled meat. Great choice, Keith S! — 3 days ago
Very light and elegant. Paired well with porchetta spiced pork chops — a month ago
Always the most elegant and perfumed and even Burgundian of the La La’s, 06 is gorgeous tonight, open and giving with the oak seamlessly absorbed, wafting layers of cassis, bacon fat, camphor and exotic spices with silky palate and tremendous length. Still young but quite accessible now! — 2 months ago

11/2025. Full of flavor with a nice finish. Sits well on the palate. Enjoyed with Duck Confit Carbonara at Divino Rosso. — a month ago

This CdP seems a bit more angry and wild from being opened, a touch more structure than the softer 2000 Bosquet des Papes (2001 was a more tannic vintage), solid balance, also mature, 13.5% ABV, longish finish. — 11 days ago
