| LES CALENDES CROZES-HERMITAGE 2015 AC |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
FERRATON |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, intense, ripe baked ripe black cherry and cassis nose with some cedary notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, slightly spicy, intense, extracty, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, high acid, sandalwood-tinged finish. A solid example of Crozes-Hermitage that can still evolve. This 100% Syrah has 13.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number LQ037017 on the lower part of the glass bottle. |

| TASTING NOTE: Even better than the La Matiniere cuvée, the 2015 Crozes Hermitage Les Calendes (100% Syrah, destemmed and aged in concrete) offers lots of graphite and minerality, as well as full-bodied richness, a thick, unctuous texture, present tannin and a great finish. Again, the value here is about as good as it gets. At the moment, all of the Crozes Hermitage releases share a lot of similarities, but I'm sure they'll show more singular characters with additional time in barrel. Score - 92-94 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) |
