Ferraton 2019 Crozes-Ermitage "Le Grand Courtil" 750ml

Black raspberries, cassis, smoked herbs, graphite, peppered meat, and gamey notes all emerge from the 2019 Crozes-Ermitage Le Grand Courtil, a rich, full-bodied Crozes with building yet ripe tannins, a round, expansive mouthfeel, and a great finish. It's going to benefit from 2-4 years in the cellar, but it’s certainly a stunning Crozes in the making.
