Color: Intense dark red.
Nose: This mid-weight wine expresses deep spice, graphite and pepper aromatics that are encouraged by its more reductive winemaking blend of cement and large barrels.
Palate: The palate is always fresh with dark fruit, forest floor and a graphite-like texture. This is a classic Crozes with a sharp focus that opens up in the bottle after fifteen minutes or so to reveal its more charming sides.
