2003 Marc Sorrel Hermitage Blanc Les Rocoules

Thomas’s Northern Rhone extravaganza (Cabotte): Dark gold, unsurprisingly. Bitter nuts, yellow raisins and exotic woods on the nose... yum. Toast, butter and hazelnut found on the palate, seasoned with a touch of rancio, and then icing sugar-sweetness coming through with time in the glass. This was divisive, but to my taste absolutely delicious. Great start.

Syrah at Cabotte (Cabotte): Easily the oldest white rhone I’ve ever drunk. 14.5%. Whiff of VA on the nose. Quite oxidised; oranges, marzipan, but by no means over and done with. Acidity is pretty spikey on the palate but some ripe stone fruit notes remain. I *really* like this - but I was in the minority to say the least. Perhaps I was just looking forward to the evening!

High-end Rhone Dinner at a friend's house. (Hollywood): Medium gold color. Closed on the nose initially, but again opened up in the glass. Spice, Anise and lavender on the nose. Floral and crisp on the palate, with the acidity persisting through the long finish. Great wine.

This is a bomb! Peach mango honey pepper and lots more. Gold colour showing age but this is still so full of life. A white with the weight of a red and representative of the region. My first Sorrel Les Rocoules and it was a nice surprise

苹果、橘皮、榛子、玉米和芝士,还有少许的辛香料和白花香,浓郁而甜美。在口中拥有出色的集中度和丰满的质感。纯净、融合、油润,但由酸度与少许植物性的微苦共同搭建的结构,突出了骨架的棱角,不会让丰满变成肥腻。

Wow… Second wine in a flight of four wines - all tasted at a private tasting at the domaine. First thing I notice is the similar characteristics of the regular Hermitage Blanc. But this wine has more depth and complexity. Secondly I noticed the looooong finish, which was insane. Could still taste the wine as clearly as daylight even after minutes while listening to Guillaume Sorrel explain about the terroir. Made from the vines grown on the plot of “Les Rocoules” of the famous L’Hermitage mountain.

Medium gold in colour, heading towards amber. Pronounced nose of cooked apple, dried apricot, walnut honey. Outstanding, probably at it's peak or perhaps slightly past it.

Visuellement il est doré et brillant, visqueux.
Un nez puissant, très rhodanien, très marsanne, sur l’acacia et la cire, des effluves pétrolées, d’amande, et une bouche pâtissière, vanillée.
La richesse est cependant bien contrebalancée par la minéralité que le millésime frais a su préserver, et la longueur s’avère assez impressionnante (portée par de beaux amers)
Le hic, c’est le dosage de S02 qui (me) semble vraiment exagéré. Ajouté au degré alcoolique (14°), cela le rend fatigant… il faut absolument manger avec (poissons crelés, Hommards…) car c’est un beau vin de gastronomie.

Une surprise… robe très foncé. Nez sur la noisette et le butterscotch. Huileux, gras, sures les arômes de tire d’éponge, de tourbe et de noix. Acidité assez basse. On en voudrait plus. Bien.

Color correct for 11 year old Hermitage blanc...this is a bit low acid but it's packed with fruit and the richness isn't over the top. Textbook Marsanne nose and drinking great right now, pop em if you've got em.

Soapy floral nose - quite fresh given the age.
Similar chamomile and jasmine on the palate - clean and relatively crisp

Goutait moins bien cette fois, sur la réserve, la puissance (15°), l'opulence déséquilibrée. Petit côté bonbon, acacias, voilà un nez discret et timide.
En bouche, si la longueur est sa force, l'attaque chaleureuse manque d'élégance et d'équilibre. Pointe de SO2 perceptible coimme l'an passé.
Dans une mauvaise passe...

Brought to Alex Bday. Started out with distracting VA. Took at full 20 minutes to settle down. Once it did, fantastic experience that only improved with airtime. Intense green apple and green tea was eventually complemented by the more usual nuttiness and a touch of exotic incense and tropical fruit as the mouth also took on weight. To me a clear sign this still has a long life ahead of it.

Zesty lemons, honeysuckle, and orange rind shine on the nose and on the fresh, lusty palate. Drink from 2022-2032.

Medium yellow, residual hint of green hay
Intense aroma
Lemon zest, wet stone, creaminess of white nectarine but not the sweetness on the palate, hint of almond
Acidity M+, alcohol high (14%) but no impact on taste
Beautiful balance
Would never have guessed that this wine is 17 years old.
So much life left.

Found this quite flat footed - lacking much in the way of fruit or complexity. If anything towards tropical fruit but tasted almost dusty.

Not sure if defective - will see with next bottle

Lunch at La Trompette: A treat to have tried one of the top Rhône whites. A slight sherry character with almond and nutty notes. Aroma was quite different to the floral notes of young Rhône whites that I have tried before. Guess more than 20 years is a good time to open Rhone whites, the fruit was quite expressive and not shut tight as I have read that Rhône whites can be disappointing in their adolescence.

Melvin's La Trompette Lunch (La Trompette, Chiswick, London): Almonds on the nose, medium bodied at most, lowish acidity with grapefruit and almonds on the palate. Did not seem to want to try too hard to please, yet question is whether it was sufficiently interesting to play it that way. Still, a treat to try a well regarded Hermitage Blanc with some bottle age.

Besoin d’air, et d’etre servi à 11/12° (pas trop froid!)
Moins riche que 2010, il est plus fin, plus elancé, plus elegant à mon goût; ce qui ne saute pas aux yeux immédiatement, mais apres un peu d’aeration, il gagne en volume, en longueur et comme son prédécesseur, s’allie a merveille avec un mets de choix (gateau de st jacques, truffe et foie gras)
Notes patissières, acacias, fleurs blanches; épices, santal, il est luxuriant mais avec une dimension plus aérienne que 2010.
Un hermitage archétypal!

Vraiment superbe, dans une veine riche, puissante, corpulente, ce Rocoules est une grand vin de gastronomie qui commence sa vie d'accompagnateur.
Gras, épais, praliné, vanillé, patissier, floral (fleurs blanches, acacias) il en impose avec sa richesse, qui se déploie merveilleusement en mangeant. La finale s'appuie sur une tension surprenante, minérale (mais l'effet est presque acidulé). Oui, superbe. Et que c'est long!
seul peitit bemol, je sens beaucoup de SO2, le vin semble surprotégé, peut-être à cause de sa richesse inhérente.
Le montrachet rhodanien!

Rich, layered, complex wine, singing of the land with honey, minerals garrigue galore. Texture is already oily and rich - but this is still young.

Not sure but this really needs food to shine. Had it at the same time as other white burgundy and I think it had a tough time in the comparison. Maybe better to drink on its own.
