(Domaine Alain Graillot Crozes Hermitage) Bright ruby. Intensely spicy aromas of vibrant strawberry and raspberry, with a gentle smoked meat undertone. Suave, sweet red berry preserve flavors show a building spiciness on the finish. In November, Graillot had not yet made the selection for his special Guiraude bottling. (89-92) points |

WA: The 2006 Crozes-Hermitage is cut from the same stylistic mode as 1991. With a dense ruby/purple color as well as sweet cassis fruit, licorice, tar, and a touch of tapenade, this deep, elegant, soft Crozes should drink well for 8-10 years.
