2020 Jaboulet Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert Rouge 750Ml Bottle

"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." 91-92pts - James Suckling

"Yet another beautiful 2020, Thalabert is deep, dark and brooding in this vintage, and it has an almost Italianate liquorice and black-fruited theme underpinning its Syrah characters.  This makes it an indulgent treat, and the palate is more velvety and forward than any young Thalabert I have tasted.  In addition, it has the stuffing to age well, too.  What more could you ask for?" 18+pts - Matthew Jukes
