What others think of this wine...

Simon Hoggart - Spectator Wine, February 2012 says:

...our top red is a Crozes-Hermitage. This is often regarded as the little brother of the better known Hermitage and the fabled Côte Rôtie, which means it costs less, and when it's as good as this one from Pascal Frères, then it makes a tremendous bargain.
