Rustic red with gritty tannins and muted fruit. Didn't stop me from drinking more but not impressed. Food did help the wine.

Dark ruby red, clear but not translucent. Blueberries, white pepper and mint notes, tar and a rubbery whiff. On the palate this is quite peppery, mint, herbes de provence with medium acidity and a minerality streak. Finishes with medium tannins. This gains weight after opening and gets to medium bodied.

Showed a bit thinner and less interesting than my previous bottle. Could have been the travel shock or my mood, I wasn't really paying attention.

One of the hardest working little bottles of wine I've had. Green peppercorn, bell pepper, blackberry, menthol. Eminently drinkable. For $20 I might not be quite as excited about it, for $11 it rocks.

Cool blue fruit, yogurt, mint and a bit of olive. Medium bodied, medium tannin, yogurt, mint and a clean, watery finish. Tasted over three days. Didn't improve.

lots of white pepper, juicy berries, fleck of funk; mod weight with acidity that is present but doesn't give line, somewhat watery in flavour after the Beauj,

Green peppercorns, clean, fresh, quaffable and easy. Very slight toastiness on the nose as well. Lovely.

Ce Crozes-Hermitage moyennement corsé présente un fruité mince avec une pointe de framboises. Viande crue. Poivre. Arômes de fumée. Les tannins sont asséchants.
