Domaine des Remizieres "Cuvee Christophe" Crozes-Hermitage 2003

Saturated purple.

Vinturi - spicy menthol/licorice nose shows a saucy, savory meat quality.

Deep, spicy, saline, grainy entry. Extremely concentrated, but a bit flat in the mid-palate, showing tannin and little else from that point on. Nothing new. I really wonder about most (but not all) 2003 northern Rhone reds.

$32
