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.

Color – Deep ruby
Nose – Ripe dark fruit aromas, especially blackberry and black currant, with subtle leather notes
Body – Medium to full-bodied
Palate – Smooth, well-integrated tannins with fresh acidity. As the wine aerates (~1h), the fruit expression becomes more pronounced, giving a slightly sweeter impression on the finish. Medium and clean finish.

Red fruit that’s nicely balanced with vanilla from its time in oak. Very pleasant and full bodied wine.
