| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.5 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Musigny1955 on 12/9/2022 & rated 92 points: {bought on release, 2-3 mm ullage after 19 years, perfect cork} Huge, ancienne regime challenging wine. Not for people who think 20 year old Hermitage should be sorted out and easy. Opaque. Took 2 hours for the initial volcanic, sulfury, beguiling volatile, enticing, feral nose to clean up and the initial monolithic wine to begin opening; classic Syrah Hermitage flavor set, if not as elegant as Chave.... Whitman's note from 2021 spot on. Half tasted, half reserved for day 2 when classy Hermitage more evident. Very good length. Huge sediment, like mud. Wish I'd had it with a charred steak. Delicious after 3 hours day 1 and on tasting day 2. I think was $70 in closeout bin 2006 when purchased. Likely have more and happily so. (459 views) | | | Tasted by Rani on 11/21/2021 flawed bottle: Flawed, liquor like notes, feels cooked. Opened another bottle from the same batch which was fine. (799 views) | | | Tasted by Rani on 11/21/2021 & rated 87 points: While this bottle wasn't as obviously flawed as its port-ish twin, it wasn't great either. Too soft and ripe, with not enough freshness and a cooked overtone. (815 views) | | | Tasted by Whitman on 11/13/2021 & rated 95 points: After a disapointing 2007 Cuvée Emilie which was over the hill, i felt like trying this. And this is a completely different story and classy in every sense.
Sweet blackberry, bitter cherries, licorice and a lot of smoke on the intense nose. Very ripe, concentrated and sweet fruit on the palate, which is just delicious. Ending in a long finish where the structure kicks in. This is a hedonistic Hermitage and ready to drink. (834 views) | | | Tasted by Raizes on 9/13/2017 & rated 92 points: 紫色调，酒质稠密。黑莓、蓝莓的果味，香草、紫罗兰和一点巧克力的桶味，以及存在感极强的烤羊肉味。入口还很年轻，十分浓缩，有热年的痕迹，单宁的处理比较平滑，集中度很高。 (1740 views) | | | Tasted by Rani on 5/9/2017 & rated 91 points: Vacuvin'd this baby to see what it's like at this relatively young age. Ripe, sappy boysenberry nose. Some dried herbs and licorice too. Dense and slightly bitter, but I'm encouraged by the acidity, fine tannins, and the fact that it's all held together quite well. After 30 minutes of air, the fruit aromas make way to more saline, beef stew notes, and on the palate there's a slightly minty quality. There's complexity here and I'm hoping to see this wine become more settled over the next few years. (1883 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 9/24/2013 & rated 93 points: Dark ruby in color, with licorice, coffee bean, wild strawberry jam, garrigue, mint and black cherries on the nose. Full bodied, powerful and concentrated with soft, potent ripe and almost, overripe black cherries in the mouth. This is not a subtle wine. The tannins are polished giving the wine a nice roundness to the texture. With 2 hours of decanting, this was drinking quite well. (3641 views) | | | Tasted by ELH on 1/26/2013 & rated 93 points: Classic old world Syrah. Earthy with restrained elegance. (2721 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 5/9/2012 & rated 93 points: Thick, rich, dense and packed with layers of ripe, earthy, dark berries, tannin, iron and spice, the wine offers intensity, purity and plush textures, Still young, this has not moved much since it was first bottled. This is hedonistic expression of Hermitage. (3344 views) |

Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
### 2017 vintage ###
"The first red wines already tasted in the Northern Rhône promise a beautiful vintage, with a quality close to the 2015 or even the 2009 vintage" - NEWRHÔNE MILLESIMESHermitage Guide to Hermitage wine Guide to Cote Rotie - Read about the Northern Rhone Valley
• The appellation stretches over 3 communes in the Drôme "département" : Tain-l'Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Larnage.
• The soils are a combination of granite with alluvial quaternary delta deposits, and, on the eastern side, Pliocene clay. This diversity explains the numerous different names given to vineyard plots within the appellation : Bessards, Greffieux, Méal, Roucoule, Beaumes, etc.
• The meso-climate provides shelter from the north winds, where the majority of the slopes is well exposed, facing south.
•The vineyards area adds up to 134 hectares/331 acres, with an annual production of 3,635 hectoliters. Authorized maximum yield is 40 hectoliters/hectare (2.3 US tons/acres).
• Grape varieties : Syrah (an addition of up to 15% of Marsanne or Roussanne is allowed).
