Wonderful. Rich and ripe but clean and focused, this classy and silky Hermitage is dark, offering subtle aromas and delivering a tasting symphony that includes roasted game, cola, toasted nuts, crushed blackberries, espresso and chocolate complexity. The tannins need some time to soften, but it's tempting now. Drink now through 2010. 665 cases made.??–PM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Hermitage Select to Add
