Glass-staining garnet. Expansive blackberry and cherry preserve scents are complemented by suggestions of exotic spices, incense and olive. Round and fleshy but lively as well, offering intense black and blue fruit liqueur and spicecake flavors that are underscored by a vein of juicy acidity. A smoky mineral note builds emphatically on the youthfully tannic finish, which hangs on with superb, spice- and mineral-driven tenacity. 25% new oak.

The 2020 Crozes-Hermitage Le Clos is tighter and more focused, with a more blue-fruited perfume of cassis, graphite, violets, and peppered meat-like aromas and flavors. The polar opposite of the broad, ripe, sexy Domaine des Grands Chemins, this stays focused and inwards on the palate, with ripe, polished tannins, beautiful balance, and outstanding length. Hide this for 4-5 years and it's going to drink brilliantly over the following 10-15.
