Description
Benchmark expression of Northern Rhône Syrah that embodies power, purity and exceptional ageworthiness. Crafted only in truly great years from old vines on Hermitage’s steep granite soils and matured for 42 months in new oak, this wine delivers deep dark ruby hues and a layered bouquet of black fruits, leather, licorice, coffee and exotic spice that unfolds with intensity and poise. Praised for its richness and structural finesse, expansive mid–palate waves of fruit and a long, silky finish that promise decades of development.
The Wine Advocate described it as representing “something of a breakthrough for this cuvée” and offering “fabulous fruit and tremendous concentration without any sense of heaviness. It’s full-bodied but comes across as silky and lacy in structure, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Bravo.”
Expect this rare Hermitage to reward patient cellaring from 2028 through 2045 and beyond.
