Sumptuous and yet also structured

Colombier, Crozes-Hermitage Gaby Vintage:2017 offering spice-tinged black and blueSaturated ruby. Intense cherry and blackberry scents, along with hints of pipe tobacco, cola and baking spices. Juicy and energetic in the mouth, offering concentrated cherry, blueberry and spicecake flavors that turn sweeter on the back half. Sneaky, rounded tannins build steadily on an impressively long, spice accented finish that leaves behind suggestions of mocha and candied flowers. Josh Raynolds
