2015 Crozes Hermitage “Tiercerolles”

Barruol / Lynch
Discount Eligible $35.00
SOLD OUT
Back in the seventies, Gérard Chave showed me some Crozes vineyards in the hills behind Hermitage that he thought surpassed others in the appellation. This wine is from those Hermitage-like sites. It has a grand cru aroma, a sumptuous, structured palate, and a long, deep, flavorful aftertaste. The 2015 Tiercerolles is above and beyond anything I have previously tasted from Crozes Hermitage—and let’s face it, folks, this is KLWM’s 45th anniversary, so I have tasted tons of Crozes over the past 45 years. Here’s the best.

Inspiring Thirst

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
