Tasted by Joe Czerwinski on 22 January 2022: "The sumptuous, rich Crozes Hermitage Cuvee Louis Belle 2020 displays opulent black cherry, cedar and vanilla notes on the nose. Powerful and velvety on the palate, it is loaded with ripe fruit and sumptuous oak, and finishes with surprising energy and an appealing note of licorice.
