Honest, rustic Crozes though there are plenty other examples of N Rhône Syrah I’d choose over this, and at a better price point. — 23 days ago

Gloriously rich and juicy. The grandiose quality of Hermitage on full display. Nose is all yellow fruits and palate is so elegant, juicy and fresh. Remarkable finesse and grand cru grip and structure. Outstanding. — 2 months ago

From Mag. An absolute wow of a bottle. The nose is crazy intense, lucid and profound. Dark plum fruit with a whiff of band aid, iron, black pepper, a tangy meatiness. Loads of delicate floral notes floating around, but a soulful and pristine bottle. As fresh as an early 2000’s bottle but so much age and precision going on. Wonderful. Just spectacular. — 4 months ago

Served with Fisherman’s Pasta - sablefish, mussels, saffron gnocchetti pasta, fennel, fresh baguette toast. Well stored Hermitage Blanc is a special experience and this bottle of 1999 “Le Méal” was no exception. Fascinating notes of clove, yellow flowers, apricot, marmalade, honeysuckle, and sunflower seed. Next to the Montrachet, the acid is perceived to be low and there’s an almost oily texture. Delicious. — 2 months ago

25th Anniversary. Things that are sublime. Massive nose of wild herbs and dark fruit. Smooth silky tannins give ways to earthy tones of green oliveand soil. The finish lingers for 20+ seconds. What a treat. — 4 months ago

Grange tasting flight 3
99 & 01 Here the 99 was clearly the favorite of the group youthful showing dark fruits, spice , menthol with perfect balance that should age gracefully for many years — 3 months ago

9.0

Very smooth, with a dense mouthfeel. Deep black fruits like currants/cassis blackberries. Plus a lot of smoke and black pepper, tannins add bitterness but not a hint of astringency or grippiness, just structure. — 4 months ago
