Score 91/100 · Drink 2014-2022, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Dec 2016

The 2012 Crozes Hermitage Clos des Grives shows a night and day different style than the 2013 and is upfront, ripe, exuberant and sexy, with medium to full-bodied notes of black raspberries, violets, flowers and spice. As with a number of these wines, it has a whiff of detracting volatile acidity, yet remains a terrific drink.

Saturated ruby. Intense dark berry and cherry cola scents are complemented by suggestions of olive paste, candied flowers, vanilla and woodsmoke. Offers palate-coating blackberry and bitter cherry flavors, and peppery spice and mocha qualities building on the back half. Manages to be both rich and lively, with no excess fat. The juicy, seamless finish is framed by silky, harmonious tannins and leaves behind a suave dark berry liqueur note.
