Millésime 2004

Wine Advocate # 175 - Feb 2008

Score : 84

The 2004 Crozes-Hermitage displays plenty of fresh, lively Syrah fruit, zesty acidity, an herbaceous note, and a touch of green olive-like characteristics. Overall, it is correct, but unexciting. Robert Parker.

Wine Spectator - May 15, 2007

Score: 87

Light-bodied, with fresh red and black cherry fruit, light tobacco and garrigue hints and an elegant finish. Drink now. 15,000 cases made. James Molesworth.

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

Score : 87-89

Medium red. Smoky, meaty and wild on the nose, with undeveloped cherry and dark berry aromas along with a suggestion of leather. A supple midweight with flavors of dark cherry, plum, licorice and smoked meat. Finishes sweet, meaty and persistent, with supple tannins. Josh Raynolds.

 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - Jan/Feb 07

Score : 88

Dark red. Intensely spicy aromas of vibrant red berry, cherry and tangy minerals. Zesty, focused and pure, showing fresh redcurrant and raspberry flavors and good depth. Refreshingly brisk on the finish, picking up a light espresso hint. Josh Raynolds.
