In the glass, the Michael St Jemms 2022 Crozes-Hermitage presents itself as a deep, almost black ink, with a profound purple hue, showcasing its intensity. With a medium to full-bodied profile and a medium finish, this wine strikes a harmonious balance on the palate.

The fine tannins gracefully weave through the wine, lending it a structured and elegant character. As you bring the glass to your nose, a captivating array of aromas unfolds. The dominant notes of blackberries and plums intermingle with the essence of oregano, conjuring images of Mediterranean gardens and culinary delights. The dried Italian herbs add a distinctive touch, enhancing the wine's complexity and depth. There's an intriguing element of stone that adds a mineral layer to the aromatic profile, further accentuating its allure. Overall, this wine's nose captivates with its brooding dark fruits and evocative herbaceousness.

When it comes to recommending the Michael St Jemms 2022 Crozes-Hermitage, I am delighted to proclaim it an excellent wine that offers remarkable value. Its seamless combination of flavors and textures makes it an ideal companion for sharing with friends over a succulent steak. With its impressive qualities, I assign this wine a well-deserved rating of 93, highlighting its prowess and allure.

Savor the Michael St Jemms 2022 Crozes-Hermitage and allow it to transport you to a realm of dark fruit opulence and herb-infused elegance. Cheers! — 2 years ago

Day 2... smoky bacon bits,, tobacco, cracked pepper, plum and blackberry. Big and bold. Classic. Dry, tannic (especially for Syrah), with rich blue and blackberry fruit. Striking fruit leads to savory finish. Paired very well with elk chili. Showed well after a 2 hour decant yesterday. Drink with decant or hold. — 5 years ago
