Description:
The 2020 Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage Rouge displays a deep garnet color with a youthful purple hue. On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and plums emerge, accompanied by hints of black pepper, licorice, and subtle floral notes. The palate reveals a medium to full-bodied wine with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. Flavors of dark fruits are complemented by notes of olives, spices, and a touch of smokiness. The wine offers a good balance between fruit concentration and acidity, leading to a lingering finish.
While it showcases the typical characteristics of a Crozes-Hermitage Rouge, the 2020 vintage from Alain Graillot stands out with its purity and freshness. It exhibits the winemaker's skill in capturing the essence of the terroir. Although approachable in its youth, this wine has the potential to develop further complexity with a few years of cellaring. |
