December, 2011 - Alain Graillot has been producing wines reflecting his integrity and high standards since 1985. His 2009 Crozes-Hermitage is gorgeous with ripe plum, blackberry, hoisin sauce, scorched earth, sweet licorice and fresh mineral notes. This is really velvety on the palate and the finish lingers effortlessly. This is a wine that you can drink now or put away for a few years as well. (Drink 2012-2018) - JD
