Tried this last night as I cracked open anuther box of goodies:
1. AlainGraillot AC: Crozes-Hermitage (12%) Tain-l'Hermitage 1988: Med.dark color w/ light bricking; classic NRhone/roasted/espresso/smokey slight funky/wet-dog fur bit earthy/dusty mature NR/complex nose; rather tart/tangy/metallic/bit drying-out/lean some NRhone/roasted/espresso/smokey light dusty flavor w/ light/bitey tannins; long quiet/classic NRhone/roasted/espresso/smokey slight dusty/earthy finish w/ light/astringent/drying tannins; a pretty classic NRhone clearly in the twilight of its yrs but still offering up some interest & pleasure as it fades into the sunset.
