Delas Crozes-Hermitage Tour d'Albon 2001

Region: Norther Rhone
Appelation: Crozes-Hermitage

A little tight and acidic early but opened up gradually over time. Meaty and slightly savoury style. Cherry and bacon notes on the nose. Doesn't deliver a massive fruit hit but rather a tight, neat structure that would appear still young as a 5 year old, somewhat surprising given the wine's modest claims in the house line-up at ~e12.0.
