In a great place. Blackberry, pepper, leather. Palate is super fresh, peppery and deep. So pure and nice low key complexity. Nice freshness and purity. Velvety tannins. Very classic. Last bottle was better. But not by much.

@Delectable Wine this is the red Crozes. Thanks!

Gorgeous nose on this new project from the Gauthier Brothere. Lovely, lurid, gamey, peppery, white pepper, cracked black pepper, huge granite, such complexity, really refined and well made. You can tell from first sniff there is a high degree of winemaking skill here. The nose is terrific. 9.3/9.4 verging. I love well made Crozes. Palate is a delight, superb purity and freshness and densely fruited but also dense minerals. So sappy and pure. Blackberry fruit, red berry fruit, sappy spices and gaminess. Bacon even. This is so well fruited and balanced between sauvage/game and pure unreal fruit on a granite background. Just so impressive. After air impressive sweetness and energy abound. Really terrific balance and finish.

Nose is elegant gut of a warm hare. Blackberry flowers.

Palate is mineral. Elegant blackberries.

Very elegant for a crozes. Not sure what I would guess blind.

Very good. But not typical.
