BOND St Eden 2021 COTES DU BRIAN "The 2011 Crozes Hermitage Domaine

BOND St Eden 2021 COTES DU BRIAN "The 2011 Crozes Hermitage Domaine99 Points James Suckling So much graphite, blueberries and orange blossoms. Full bodied with creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Compact and racy with a very, very persistent finish. Big boned. A cylinder of tannins going through it. A fantastic young wine. Start drinking after 2030.
