The 2018 Crozes Hermitage—tasted out of tank just after filtering and prior to bottling—is a fruit-filled offering with ripe, supple tannins. It's relatively full-bodied yet gluggable, loaded with black cherries and chocolate. Drink it on the young side.

Showing the standard cedar, white pepper and serious spice component that's present in all of Pierre's wines, the 2015 Crozes Hermitage is medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated and rich, with solid mid-palate depth and ripe tannin. It's a rock-solid effort that should evolve nicely through 2025.

White pepper, mint, blackberries, mulberries and leafy herbs all emerge from the 2014 Crozes Hermitage, and this medium-bodied, fresh, juicy, old-school effort should drink nicely for 4-5 years.

Lastly, the 2013 Crozes Hermitage exhibits a reserved, yet classic bouquet of dark fruits, pepper, mineral and subtle meatiness. I like the palate and it has plenty of fruit, as well as a medium-bodied elegant texture and a clean finish. It should be very good Crozes to drink in its first 6-7 years of life.
