This flight consisted of the 91, 85, 71 & 59 They were stunning , all so fresh, clean with beautiful fruit drinking much younger than their age. Hard to pick a winner here but the 71 stood out. This flight changed my mind on how great his white Hermitage ages — 7 days ago

Very youthful, medium‑plus bodied Hermitage with a clearly fruit‑driven profile.

Nose: black cherry, blueberry and raspberry, light floral note, minimal smoke or oak spice.
Palate: similar dark and red fruits, moderate tannin, fresh acidity, medium‑plus finish, no noticeable volatility or flaws.
Structure suggests it will improve with a few years of cellaring but is already drinkable with a short decant.

Amazing Syrah. Earth, leather, tar, smooth tannins, long finish, blackberry, accompanied by a powerful nose. Ready to drink without decanting. This is the gold capsule version. Worth its $95 price tag. — 17 days ago
