Paul Jaboulet Aîné Domaine de Thalabert Crozes-Hermitage 2021

Lots of black and green pepper in the nose, but also lots of blackberry fruit. Impressive concentration and full supple tannins that give this considerable power at the long velvety and earthy finish. Excellent aging potential, and that’s rare in this vintage. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Score – 93. (Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, May 22, 2023)
