Tasting Notes 酒評 |
As for the selections parcellaires reds, there are 337 cases of the inky/ruby/purple-tinged 2009 Crozes-Hermitage Le Grand Courtil. Aromas of graphite, smoked game, black currants and espresso roast emerge from this full-bodied, moderately tannic red. With great fruit on the attack and mid-palate, it will be even better in 3-4 years and should drink well for 25 years.
