"The 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Clos Les Cornirets outperforms the 2021 I tasted last year, opening with wood smoke, cedar, black cherry and flesh elements. Medium-bodied and savory, the 2022 bundles vivid freshness and closes with resonance on the structured finish. Give it two more years in bottle to come around."
