9.6. Stunning Hermitage. The nose is completely unhinged, with granite, blackberry, mint, dried leather, bark, crushed flowers, tar and this wild smashed-confectionery-rock quality that keeps getting more complex with air. The palate is silky, deep and increasingly velvety, with beautiful sweet 2023 fruit, tremendous purity, high-class tannins and real authority. Powerful without weight, brooding but elegant, with an amazingly long finish. Still young and coming together, but already a great wine.
