title: Domaine des Hauts Châssis 2010 Les Galets  (Crozes-Hermitage)
description: Mouth-watering scents of Old Bay and black cherries emerge from the glass, but the palate does't quite live up to the early promise. It's ample in weight and well balanced by acidity, yet the black cherry fruit seems a bit simple and turns drying on the finish. Give it until 2015 or so and see if it comes around.
variety: Syrah
designation: Les Galets
