Pierre Amadieu, Les Caladieres, Crozes-Hermitage, Rhône, 2010

Tasting: Crozes-Hermitage 2010

Muted blackberry nose. Fresh, limpid, has charm rather than weight, delicate, fine acidity, but this could use more flesh. Quite long, with a lifted finish.

Tasting: Crozes-Hermitage 2010

Rather evolved colour, nose a little stewed, with a hint of reduction and also a shade streched. Palate correct with a pleasing red fruit, could do with a little more ampleur and expression.

Tasting: Crozes-Hermitage 2010

Rich, rather oily air, note of reduction, liquorice, dust, spice in back, starting to evolve, advance with a jam-like softness. Palate bears tight black fruit, spice resurfaces, grainy late moment. Pretty fresh, a shade plain, big scale product.
