Paul Jaboulet Aîné Domaine de Thalabert Crozes-Hermitage 2020

A charismatic Crozes-Hermitage with tons of black-plum fruit, as well as hot-asphalt and cocoa-powder notes. This is remarkably open for its young age, in spite of the ample structure. Has a bold and tightly knit tannin structure, but should be drinkable from release, thanks to the forthright fruit that is very present at the long, moderately dry finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. [Drink into early 2030s.] Score - 92-93.
