Guigal Crozes Hermitage Rouge 2009

Black licorice and current jump out of the glass. A rustic style with dark berry fruit and black pepper spice.

Expert Review

92 Points - Wine Advocate, December 2011
"The exceptional 2009 Crozes-Hermitage is one of the top wines of the vintage. A complex bouquet of black olives, licorice, ground beef, spring flowers and red and black currants soars from the glass of this 100% Syrah that is aged in 3-year-old barrels as well as larger foudres. With remarkable density, this evolved, approachable, delicious, full-bodied Crozes should drink well for a decade." -Robert Parker
