One of the more concentrated 2020s from the appellation, the 2020 Crozes Hermitage les Pierrelles features scents of plummy fruit, mixed raspberries and black cherries, black olives and dark loam. It's medium to full-bodied, framed by soft tannins and finishes long, with hints of licorice and mocha, and a softly dusty texture. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.
