Alain Graillot Crozes Hermitage 2007
I had a glass of this after work today, and though it didn't have time to see much exposure to air, I thought it was pretty fine. Lovely dark fruit and olive aromas, meaty. Good grip but it isn't tight - in fact it seemed suspiciously open tonight. Ripe but savoury. It seemed a touch better than what I remember the previous couple vintages to have been. Very nice, very pure Syrah, very pure Crozes.
Sadly this isn't the bargain here that it is elsewhere (it costs nearly 30€ a bottle), but I might still have to buy one.
