Tardieu Laurent Crozes Hermitage VV 2022 HLG "The 2011 Crozes Hermitage Domaine93 Points Jeb Dunnuck "The 2022 Crozes Hermitage Vieilles Vignes is another ripe, opulent release from Tardieu Laurent that does everything right. Ripe blackberries, strawberries, black pepper, game, and some smoky, meaty notes all emerge on the nose, and this beauty hits the palate with medium to full bodied richness, a pure, layered mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and no hard edges. It's a gorgeous Northern Rhne Syrah that brings the fruit and texture."
