Chateau de Saint Cosme Crozes Hermitage 2016

Appellation

Crozes-Hermitage, Rhone

Tasting Notes

Proprietor Louis Barruol sourced his 2016 Crozes Hermitage from the commune of Gervans, which has particularly granitic soils. It’s smoky and refined, with cherry and cassis fruit underscored by hints of dried herbs and meaty elements. With its ample fruit and fine-grained tannins, it’s already drinking well?and should do so for at least another 4-5 years.
