For Father's Day dinner, I chose two of my favorite wines, a Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape and this Domaine Thalabert, a Crozes that,. in my opinion, deserves to be ranked with the best wines from the Hermitage hill. At 29 years, the 1991 is showing well right now.Still deep albeit with a lot of bricking. Has the Northern Rhone bouquet that I love: black fruits with a spicy, peppery lift. Very savory: black olives, sea salt, earth but with ripe strawberry fruit creeping in at the finish. It's a wine I could sniff and sip all night, finding something new each time.
