Tardieu-Laurent
Hermitage Blanc White Rhone Blend
Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Upon opening I thought this was dead, but after a few hours it started to emerge. Wasn’t showing best until day two. Rich and textured, with well developed nutty honeyed notes. One to savor.

Feb 2nd, 2020I've tasted Tardieu-Laurent Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and fell in love—the 2008 Hermitage blanc sports a nose of buttercream frosting, soft orchard fruits, orange marmalade and toasted hazelnuts. Round, silky and decadent, it's showing nicely now. There is a delicious interplay of oak and acid, fruit and toasted but notes. We served this with pan seared scallops and the roasted halibut encrusted with nuts and herbs. Sumptuous and lovely.

Best quote "I feel like a carnivore when I drink this!" All bloody and awesome.

Yes i should have waited but this was still excellent. Bit of a muted nose with citrus peel and stone. The palate is extremely fresh with citrus peel, nutty marzipan and light fruity notes. Oily almost buttery texture with a lasting salinity. Acidic without instantly giving you heart burn. Becoming a fan of Rhone Whites

17.5. 2008. Lots of legs, rather light lemon robe, full and rich nose, white fruits. Very big on palate, not subtle but delicious and long. Perfect with oily fish (salmon in this case), would overwhelm light white fish, but fine with veal or chicken. Many years left.
