Domaine Jean Esprit Crozes Hermitage "Le Zouave" red 2022

The great cuvée of the domaine, a tribute to the founder Joseph who was a zouave. It comes from the oldest vignes of the domaine (70 to 100 years old, undoubtedly the oldest syrahs of the appellation). It is a structured cuvée, very concentrated, still a bit young in 2024 but already impressive... and for at least 10 years! Prefer the 2021s if there are any left before tackling the 2022s.
