Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Blind tasting no5. And I royally effed this up. Fought bitterly about Syrah and reluctantly settled on a young left bank Bordeaux. So far off…
Slightly cloud and dull purple colors should have led me away from anything with Cab. Heavy extraction and moderate intense nose of blueberry muffins. (Spice, vanilla, blue fruit.) Also strong talcum and baby powder. Dry with lower tannins and only medium acidity. Quite full body. Baked fruits and baking spices, with chalk and a looonnng finish. Bordeaux? I’m an idiot.
