Guigal Crozes-Hermitage Rouge 2016

James Suckling writes "Attractive violets and blue fruit define the nose, as well as pepper and light spicy notes. The palate has a rich and smooth delivery of ripe red plums and cherries. Smooth, supple and balanced."

The winery writes "Extremely dark and deep in color, the nose bursts with aromas of cherries and strawberries, balanced by the presence of wood. A tannic and large wine, with flavors of blackcurrant and hints of vanilla. Remarkable freshness with structured tannins from extended aging in wood."
