2020 Crozes Hermitage “Goutay”
Barruol / Lynch
There is a lot of wine in this wine! So much that it’s a wonder they were able to fit it all in there. If I were allowed to say something as ridiculous as candied brambles on a bed of freshly fallen leaves, I might...but I'm not, so I won’t. A more sophisticated take is something like, rich and powerful black and blue fruit accompanied by bacon fat, licorice, and herbs. Either way, it is delicious all the same.
