Delas Crozes-Hermitage Les Launes 2000

Crozes Hermitage, Northern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceSmoky, roasted pepper nose with pruny, spicy, gamey, licorice aromas. Dry, elegant, slightly lean entry with obvious acidity in the finish. Spicy, gamey, pruny, smoked pepper flavours and a lean, tight structure. Not the best bottle we have tasted and we wonder if it's suffering form some cork taint. Not as fine as the 1998.Tasted: 15 January 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
