Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
I think this was a little past it's prime. Jammy fruit and some alcohol heat, nothing all that interesting going on but it was adequate.

A delight--nose is almost new world-like in rich intensity, but the pepper, bramble, and bits of stinky earth start to come through revealing its glorious Rhone-ness. Grippy and smooth, impressive.

one of the better C-H offerings I've had at this price.

Red fruit, slightly green and floral with some caramel on nose at first. Nice iron, meaty and stemmy notes as it opens. Getting better by the second.

Dec 24th, 2014One of my favorite French wines! Bought this wine 2 years ago. The wait was worth it. Definitely taste better as it ages. Nice subtle pepper notes on the nose. Big fruit berry taste that nicely settles out on the tastebuds!

Apr 2nd, 2017Maybe it's because I hadn't had syrah in a while, but the acidity and earthiness over fruit was a bit shocking at first-- like a bit of oj after toothpaste. Overall though, great flavor-- I'm thinking posthumously right now...

Delicious! Smoke, berries, heavy on the nose but medium to drink, and a long finish.
