Millésime 2003

Wine Advocate # 170 - Apr 2007

Score : 90

The 2003 Crozes-Hermitage is a beauty with sweet notes of cassis, black olive, and a hint of herb in a pure, full-bodied, opulent style that is totally seductive at present, but promises to age beautifully for 10-12 years. Drink: 2007 - 2019. Robert Parker.

Wine Spectator - Oct 15, 2006

Score : 89

Lovely, piercing aroma of violet, with a vibrant, minerally streak running through the middle of plum, black cherry and cassis fruit. Taut, minerally finish. Drink now through 2014. 15,000 cases made. James Molesworth.
 

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - Jan/Feb 06 

Score : 90-92

Deep, saturated red. Explosively fresh bouquet of red berries, cracked pepper, smoky bacon and dried flowers. This is textbook Northern Rhone syrah, with supple red berry and floral flavors along with a sweet underbrush quality reminiscent of Morey-Saint-Denis. Vibrant and crisp on the silky, gently tannic finish. This will be an exceptional value.  Josh Raynolds
