Crozes-Hermitage Pé de Loup

Nose is the more interesting of the pair - more depth, more layering than the 2019 was offering. But the palate raises questions. Rounder, sure - but also less put-together, like the parts haven't settled into the same wine yet. I don't mind a fizzy note in principle, but here it reads as out of place rather than as a feature. A bit green underneath, and the acidity threads through at a strange angle. Complex, interesting, but the 2019 came across more cohesive overall. Two takes, one clear answer.
