2018 CROZES HERMITAGE Cuvée Ghany Domaine Gaylord Machon

Grapes - Syrah

Country - France

Region - Northern Rhone

ABV - 14.5%

Another knock out wine from Machon, this had so much perfume and intensity on the nose, black raspberry, black pepper, dried roses, ginger and dark chocolate. In the mouth the tannins are beautifully pliable and overlaid with sleek black fruits, spice, deliciously wild savoury touches and a bright balancing acidity.

Drinking range: 2021 - 2031
