Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Joe Czerwinski, Aug. 2018) : 92/100. Aged in concrete, the 2017 Crozes Hermitage Laurent Combier displays effusive Syrah notes of violets, licorice and purple raspberries. That gorgeous nose leads into a medium to full-bodied palate, lined with supple tannins and finished with fresh fruit and dried spice notes. It should drink well for 4-5 years. Drink date 2018-2023.
