Maxime Graillot Equinoxe Crozes-Hermitage 2010
A joy to drink and drink you must - one for now, not the cellar. Proof that good Northern Rhone can be had at a reasonable price. Needs a good decant first - just to air it out shake off a little reductive note.
On the nose a delightful mix of briary fruits and white pepper; a savoury and smoky mix too. Smooth and medium bodied - a mere 13% stated alcohol - with that mix of fruit coming to the fore. Seems effortless to drink.
The finish: a spicy, peppery and fruit driven cocktail flowing to a moderate length. Enjoy. 90 - Good
