Tasting Notes

93
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Mar 16
(made from fruit grown in Greffieux and Méal, half of it destemmed; aged in used barriques for 18 months): Bright purple. Potent scents of cherry pit, blueberry liqueur, licorice and bitter chocolate, accompanied by a smoky accent that builds in the glass. Densely packed and alluringly sweet, offering smoky black and blue fruit, spicecake, olive and floral pastille flavors energized by a jolt of cracked pepper. Smooth, harmonious tannins come in late on the sappy, smoky, impressively long finish.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Jeb Dunnuck - 30 Dec 14
Easily my favorite of the 2013s, the 2012 Hermitage le Greal comes mostly from the warmer le Meal lieu-dit, but incorporates 10% from Greffieux. It has good richness and depth in its peppery dark fruits, cured meat and tapenade-styled bouquet. This is followed by a full-bodied, fleshy, full and textured Hermitage that has solid mid-palate depth and enough structure to warrant a few years in the cellar.
Drinking Date: 2018 - 2028

Freshly baked fruitcake, layer upon layer of flavour, and supple tannins with charming lightness of touch. This is Hermitage’s sensitive side – perfumed and aromatic, yet without sacrificing wonderful fruit purity. (RH)

Hermitage

Hermitage, a prestigious Northern Rhône appellation, is famed for its exceptional red and white wines. The reds, made primarily from Syrah, are known for their intense flavours of dark berries, black olives, spices, and smoky, meaty notes, with structured tannins and long finishes. The whites, mainly from Marsanne and Roussanne, offer richness with balanced acidity and flavours of honey, stone fruits, and nuts. Top producers like Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, E. Guigal, and Domaine Delas Frères are celebrated for showcasing Hermitage's unique terroir and quality.
