Domaine des Rémizières
Cuvée Émilie Hermitage Syrah
Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Such a stunning nose and the grandiosity of Hermitage comes through. Complex white pepper, cracked black pepper, sauvage, black raspberry, blackberry, huge granite and some flowers. So complex and ethereal. What a palate. Sleek, structured and grapey but so much density without weight and lively herbs, fruits and stones. Super complex but it’s just beginning. Wow the density on the mid palate is remarkable. Superb concentration and such unreal weight. This is so large scaled yet feather like. Awesome wine. I am really impressed. More to come. So silky and elegant now with air. Real depth here and terrific noble Hermitage structure. This is just so great on day 2. Nose is insane. Feral, spicey, haunting. Just so clear. Unreal mint and just so elemental. Velvety stunning texture. Unreal structure. Really reminds me of a 1st Growth. Mouton. 9.7 to 9.8 overnight.

Meh, would have expected a lot more...Hermitage is not a an automatic ticket to Syrah bliss.

Birthday wine. Really good pairing with lamb roast at dad’s. Wine really opened up and paired well. Probably a little past it’s prime, but really smooth with great blackberry and dark cherry flavor. Medium-length finish.

Lovely Syrah, nose of wonderful spices and earth, literally dances across palate into long finish.

Smoky, meaty, peppery, dark fruited Syrah. Barnyard, damp earth and black tea.
On the more modern side of the spectrum in its adolescence, but nowadays, as a grown-up, it’s starting to show a more gentle and nuanced personality.
I do not reach RP/Jeb-scores, but this certainly is a 93 in my book.
