2007 Domaine Fond Croze Cuvee Romanaise Cotes du Rhone

A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. Saturated opaque black dark purple colour with deep dark purple red colour. Aromas of ripe dark raspberry, plum and liquorice allsorts followed by some meat and spice notes. The palate is generous with favours of dark blackberry, blackpepper and liquorice followed by some meaty notes with the blackpepper persisting onto the back palate. Fine grained tannins with very long meaty, blackpepper, liquorice and spice aftertaste.

Other Reviews….
The full-bodied, deep ruby/purple-hued 2007 Cotes du Rhone Cuvee Romanaise (60% Grenache and 40% Syrah) exhibits lots of smoky black currant and black cherry fruit intermixed with hints of licorice, forest floor, and underbrush, a ripe, heady mouthfeel, and a succulent, fleshy style. It, too, can be drunk over the next several years.
