96 Points

Friday, March 30, 2012 - Similar to my observations about 9 months ago. Deep, deep dark garnet body; a touch of yellowing on the rim; bricking development. A sensational and fragrant nose of blackberry, black cherry, fresh saddle leather, bacon fat, soy, tar, violets. herbs. Just about every thing you would want in Hermitage aromas and flavors. Big, rich and succulent in the mouth. An extended leather and bacon fat finish. I did not get the heat I observed last time. Exceptional wine. Pairs OK with a Prime Porterhouse steak, but the wine is more appreciable by itself. A great Friday evening!
