Gilles Robin
Cuvée Albéric Bouvet Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
The description: Wonderful loganberry aroma on the nose, or deeply intense raspberry and black cherry, after which exotic spice and freesia scents become apparent. Beautifully fresh and expressive in the mouth; medium-bodied and rounded with present but understated tannin and acidity. This is so delicious that it will inevitably be consumed straight away...but should you forget about few bottles, they will age beautifully for at least another 5-6 years.
The opinion: It’s fine but did not meet expectations.
