Incredible old Hermitage! Balanced, structured, great fruit, plum, dark currants, dark fruits, a little anise. Had it with a perfectly grilled Ribeye steak. A perfect marriage!

tastes very young for its age. Bloody, irony, and savory with tones of black pepper and meat!

KC's favorite Rhone. And our wedding year. Iron, cherry, leather. Some brett. Leaner in texture than expected for the vintage. Sophisticated structure.

Black fruit, pepper and iron. Deep floral notes once you dig in. Great acidity on the long finish.
