This rich, cherry red Crozes-Hermitage wine has a nose of small red fruits and blackcurrants, smoke, and spice. An expressive and perfumed Syrah, with notes of succulent black cherry, toast, and subtle violets. The tannins are silky and in perfect balance with fresh acidity. Partly matured in Oak barrels for 12 months before bottling gives the wine a long and harmonious finish.
