Tasting note
The 2011 Crozes-Hermitage Les Varonnieres (which is a significant step up over the 2012) got a big 'Wow' in my notes and is a brilliant Crozes-Hermitage. Cote Rotie-like with its perfumed floral, bacon fat, spice and olive-driven bouquet, this full-bodied, supple and downright sexy Syrah makes the most of the vintage. Enjoy it over the coming decade or so. Drink: 2013-2023. Score - 95. (Jeb Dunnuck, erobertparker.com, Dec. 2013)
