Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet
Nouvelère Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Pleasurable Crozes-Hermitage from the northern Rhône valley. This is the appellation that sits in the valley outside of the hills of Hermitage. 100% Syrah, complex, rustic, and fruity. This wine was made for the long haul as far as cellarability. Pretty young at this point. Blueberry, leather, herbaceous, with a hint of cherry and slate. This evolves nicely in the glass. Drink or hold.

Jul 26th, 2019Solid Crozes. Lots of dusty, sandstoney gravel informing the ripe blackberry fruit. A little bit of the raw lamb and black pepper thing too. Rich and mouthfilling. Palate is a bit simpler than the nose, but a nice weekday dinner wine.

Jul 11th, 2017Takes some air to open up. Nose is very minerally, irony, with deep raw meat notes, but deep berry fruit and cracked pepper peeking through. Tannic and intensely stony in the mouth. Lots of good elements, but feels like it needs to come together and could use a little more energy. Will revisit tomorrow.
