"A structured, layered and well-composed Crozes-Hermitage with aromas of spiced berries, warm herbs, baking spices and hints of undergrowth and bark. It's medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Dense and textured with a solid frame shaping the palate. Flavorful, peppery and long. Drink from 2027."

"A sanguine version, with roasted meat notes atop plum reduction sauce and raspberry. Dusty earth and dried flowers chime in, with beautiful lavender details toward the saline, high-energy finish, which stretches way out, marked by graphite and smoke. Drink now through 2029. 1,200 cases made, 120 cases imported."
