Oratorio
Manufacturer:
Stephen Brook
Tasting: Crozes-Hermitage 2010
Lightly tarry, meaty nose, a bit reduced? Broad, supple, quite rich and juicy, plump but has some lift and piquancy. It’s limpid and fresh, with ample zest rather than depth. Tannic finish, though.

Tasting: Crozes-Hermitage 2010
Hedgerow aromas with hints of pebble-stone and spice; palate is pleasingly broad, with precocious red fruit personality, gentle balancing acidity and a certain feminine lift at the end. Tannins somewhat unresolved, yet potential lingers in the air.
John Livingstone-Learmonth
Tasting: Crozes-Hermitage 2010
Low-key stewed fruit air, pork scratching, not an alert nose. Palate is near ready to drink, bears red berry fruit, with a splash of salt or tang in it, with a surprise increase in darkness, intensity at end. Slow burn wine.
