Stunning notes of black olives, Provencal herbs, creme de cassis, licorice and subtle smoke emerge from the sexy, medium to full-bodied, opulent 2009 Crozes-Hermitage Les Trois Chenes. It also possesses a denser ruby/purple color as well as a complex set of aromatics and flavors. Drink it over the next decade.
