Espiègle Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Deep, glistening ruby. Smoke-accented black raspberry, cherry and violet scents, along with cracked pepper and olive nuances. Appealingly sweet and energetic in style, offering juicy red and dark berry and bitter chocolate flavors that become sweeter on the back half. Finishes on a gently tannic note, with repeating spiciness and a hint of smoky bacon. From the domaine's younger vines; aged in neutral oak barrels. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2022)
