Description
A commanding expression of Hermitage, combining lavish Syrah fruit with savory depth and striking freshness. Blackberry and blueberry mingle with smoked meat, black olive and crushed stone, while tobacco, spice and mocha add complexity. Rich and concentrated, the palate carries tannins, balanced by energy and a long, resonant finish. James Suckling awarded 98 points, admiring its focus, elegance and invigorating freshness. The Wine Advocate rated it 97+ points, highlighting the concentration and structure underpinning its ripe fruit. Made from biodynamically grown grapes, this is a compelling bottle for lovers of powerful northern Rhône reds. Enjoy now with decanting, or cellar for further development through 2040. Serve alongside slow braised beef, roast lamb or venison to complement its generous fruit and smoky, savory character.
