Crozes-Hermitage AOC,
Northern Rhône,
France,
13% vol., 1 995
Grape variety: Syrah
The wine is deep ruby in colour with a purple hue. A concentrated and complex nose of pronounced intensity; aromas of violet, tobacco, black cherry, black pepper, cinnamon and a touch of eucalyptus. A well-balanced wine on the palate with bright acidity, moderate alcohol, ample young tannins, a medium body and very good fruit concentration; flavours of black cherry, tobacco and walnut in quite a long finish. Needs further ageing.
