Marquise de la Tourette Hermitage Syrah

Ruby tawny color, bright in the glass. Mostly transparent. Great Hermitage nose. Notes of black cherry and black currants, red raspberries, menthol, slate stone, some smoked meat, some ripe plums and some blueberries. Great mouth feel. Long finish. In a great window for consumption.

Tawny and translucent. Great nose right away. Notes of black cherry, slate, blueberries, iron and a little menthol. Rich and silky in the mouth. Some structure but soft and delicate too. Balanced and has a nice sweet fruit element. Just missing a little oomph in the finish. At peak and won’t benefit from more age.
