2019 Crozes-Hermitage, Alain Graillot
Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%
Alain Graillot has long reigned as Crozes-Hermitage’s most respected grower, and this 2019 is affirmation of that position. This wine has dark smoky fruit on the nose - blackcurrants, black olives, and nutmeg spice. The palate has such an impressive texture, with abundant, ripe, but poised tannins so neatly knitted together. Its long, fresh finish ensures this should age well.
