Tasted next to 99 Morodoree. This was much more savage and intense. Very rich and still young. Fruit and oak at the forefront (plum). Drinks well now but needs time. Not typical hermitage. Quite sweet.

Open for business. Tannines still present (but supportive and resolving), giving way to an wonderfully balanced and elegant structure of minerals, spices, roses and tobacco. Gorgeous, especially next to a rustic dish of lentils, fennel, roasted potatoes and duckconfit.

Delicious! Earthy, meaty and some integrated tannins. Trying wines like these makes me feel bad for the ones I will try after.
