The 1997 Hermitage Eremites is an impressively-endowed dark ruby/purple-colored wine with copious quantities of sweet black currant fruit intermixed with notes of coffee, tar, and earth. This wine is dense, full-bodied, and outstanding in all aspects. Look for the 1997 Hermitage Eremites to age well for two decades. Importers: Bacchus Importers, tel.
