Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Jul 17
(white capsule) Deep ruby. Mineral-accented aromas of fresh red and dark berries and pungent flowers show excellent focus and pick up a floral nuance with aeration. Spicy and energetic on the palate, offering sweet raspberry, blueberry and violet pastille flavors and a touch of smokiness. Puts on weight with air while maintaining energy and focus. Finishes bright, sappy and very long, featuring harmonious tannins and building spiciness.

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.
