Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Jul 17
(gold capsule) Opaque ruby. Heady, smoke- and spice-tinged boysenberry, black raspberry and violet aromas show excellent clarity and a hint of licorice. Sweet and broad on the palate, offering concentrated dark berry and floral pastille flavors plus a suggestion of spicecake. The impressively long, energetic finish features bright minerally cut, an echo of juicy dark fruit and chewy tannins that come in late.

Hermitage Fine Wine

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.
