Wine Reviews

Wafting from the glass with a lively, elegant bouquet of dark berries, spices, licorice and herbs, the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert possesses a moderately weighted, satiny and ample palate with a delicately juicy core of fruit, despite a slightly introverted character and an austere finish.

The 2020 Crozes Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert seems to have put on weight since last tasted from barrel, improving with its élevage. Faint herbal notions and a bit of crushed stone accent black cherries on the nose.

Ripe black fruit, licorice and cedar tones introduce the refined 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert. Medium-bodied, round and elegant, it bundles lively freshness with gentle resonance on the savory finish.

A wealth of black fruit, smoke, black pepper and raw meat aromas. At once bold, structured and elegantly balanced on the medium- to full-bodied palate, where the interplay of fleshiness and fine tannins is stunning. Very long, stony finish with notes of licorice and blackberries.

Not made in 2023 due to the hailstorm in July, the 2024 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine De Thalabert shows a healthy ruby/purple hue with classic aromatics of ripe red and black fruits, black olives, graphite, pepper, and violets. It’s nicely balanced and medium-bodied, with ample mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and beautiful overall balance. This does well in the vintage and will certainly be an outstanding wine.
