The classic 2011 Crozes Hermitage gives up plenty of smoked berry fruit, earth and ground herbs to go with a medium-bodied, nicely textured and deliciously fruited profile on the palate. Enjoy it over the coming 4-5 years. This was a good, yet certainly not inspiring, lineup from this domaine. As a whole, the 2011s look to be marginally more successful than the 2012s. Importer: H.
