Only 80 cases were made of the 1994 Unfiltered Hermitage. This beautiful wine possesses an opaque purple color and a sweet, fragrant nose of pure cassis, black raspberries, smoke, and minerals. Already surprisingly forward and delicious, this full-bodied, chewy, rich Hermitage must have some tannin lurking behind the fruit, glycerin, and alcohol. A big, surprisingly supple wine, it will exhibit more structure as it ages over the next 10-15 + years. Last tasted 5/96.
