Color
Dark purple with an opaque core, the wine appears clear and bright in the glass.
Nose
From the column "When wines project images into the mind..."
At dawn, the rest of the campfire still glows on which thick steaks were grilled the night before on spruce and pine wood, their meat juice and the marinades of soy sauce and various types of pepper, as well as blood orange rub and barbecue sauce dripping into the fire. The scent of braised onions, baked potatoes and, later, baked apples from the embers still lingered in the clearing air and were a source of exuberance.
Palate
On the palate, the 2015 Crozes Hermitage Les Croix from Domaine les Bruyères proves with ease that it is the perfect companion to the above scenario. Dense and dark, yet not sinister, but pleasantly unconcerned, David Reynaud's wine combines charm with earthiness. Precision and body-defining tannins paired with vitalizing acidity and proper expression allow this projection to fully take shape and affirm the desire to repeat this as soon as possible.
