Delas 2017 Crozes-Hermitage Les Launes 750ml

Opaque ruby. Spice-accented cherry and blackberry on the fragrant nose and in the mouth. Silky and open-knit, showing good heft and a hint of smokiness on the back half. Smooth, even tannins lend gentle grip to a long, lively finish that leaves dark berry notes behind.
