Domaine Delhome Crozes ‘Alt 330’ Hermitage Rouge 2022

Description

100% Syrah

Beautiful purple color, very deep and intense. The nose is of great richness, with notes of spices, pepper and clove, mixed with black fruits in the first nose. On aeration, one discovers notes of plum and cherry, as well as subtle notes of roasted notes.

The mouth is rich, concentrated, the tannins are fine, coated, elegant. We note a lot of volume, of fullness in the middle of the mouth, accompanied by a beautiful acidity, which gives a long and rich finish.

“OUTSTANDING Crozes Hermitage from a wonderful site on kaolin (bright white clay) at 330m…beautiful, elegant nose but with plenty of concentration – quite a dark style with a gorgeous floral lift. The fruit is pure & direct, & the balsamic note gives the wine real character which is quite unexpected in a wine so young… undoubtedly utterly delightful right now.” (John Livingstone-Learmonth, Drink Rhône)
