Tardieu Laurent Crozes-Hermitage Vieles Vignes 2019

100% Syrah from Crozes-Hermitage AOC. Deep purple in the glass, with a vibrant, fruity nose. The palate is juicy, supple and balanced, with notes of dark berries and spice. A touch of minerality lingers in the finish.

93/100 Wine Enthusiast, Anna Lee C. Iijima

"Svelte in structure yet pulsating with rich black plum and cassis, this full-bodied Syrah calibrates pure, ripe fruit against complexities of granite, fur and black olive. Matured ten months in oak, it's a velveteen, concentrated sip but brisk and bright too, finishing on fine-grained, upright tannins. Approachable young, the wine will likely drink beautifully through 2030." Drink 2022 - 2030

91-93/100 Jeb Dunnuck

"Leading off the reds, the 2019 Crozes-Hermitage Vieilles Vignes offers a dense purple color as well as ripe, powerful notes of smoked red and black fruits, scorched earth, chocolate, and a touch of smoke meat. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, and balanced."
