Domaine du Colombier : Crozes-Hermitage "Cuvée Gaby" 2023

Blueberry and blackberry – it's juicy, soft and mouthfilling. It's well balanced, with good concentration and structure. Classic Crozes, with some guts and stuffing, but give it a year or two for the tannins to relax, as they are quite chunky.

100% Syrah. Cask sample.Dark-fruit aroma. Suave and round on the palate with well-integrated tannins. Firm, dry finish and appealing freshness. Appears to do the job. (JL)

Black pepper, black plum and dried herbs introduce the 2023 Crozes-Hermitage Cuvée Gaby, a medium-bodied red hitting the palate with elevated flavor concentration skillfully balanced by lifting freshness. Savory and sleek-lined, the enticing 2023 ends with substantial nuance on the focused finish.
