  Very nice: lifted red fruit on the nose, with perhaps a very faint hint of pepper, then very delicate and balanced on the palate. Very classy.

  This was young, but delicious. Some tobacco, spice and cedar. Mixed red and darker fruits, but more red in tone. I liked this a lot.

  98-99。Domaine Marc Sorrel Le Gréal Hermitage 2017
  醒酒器2小时+杯醒3小时。
  闻香是新鲜草莓、蓝莓、黑加仑、酸黑橄榄、一些具有明显矿物质感的燧石和一点深色花朵。香气初闻之下不显复杂，但反而凸显出令人颇感惊讶的飘逸和深邃感，妥妥的大酒风范。
  入口后整个结构用“宏大”已不足以概括其质量，而是彰显出了极度的大气磅礴。酒体浑圆有力，呈现出的水平已然难得一见，但中段飘然而至的纯净感才令人惊诧，好似一支极富高级感的勃艮第。磅礴有力又绝对的优雅纯美干净，在西拉和黑皮诺之间飘忽不定又浑然一体，单宁也是极致粉嫩细腻，余味长。
  这款酒的功力和潜力实在是深不见底，可能同年份的Louis Chave都很难完全超越它了。

  Fabulous! A little more tannic and less fine than the 2018

  Purchased from a Eurocave storage in a small winebar/store in a little town in Provence for about half the Wine Searcher price with none being available in the USA at moment. Anyway of course youthful - pigmentation medium dark dull ruby - nose nice clean ready and complex with bright ripe red cherry fruit, sweet tobacco, charcoal and minty and floral notes. On the palate this wine demonstrates its enormity even more with bright acids in perfect balance w fine regal tannins buoying these aromas and flavors at length allowing a perfect decrescendo landing without a trace of loss of balance - just quietly slowly disappears. A complete pleasure. Why not 100? - Idk? 100 - being perfection - I guess is something I don’t feel able to assign. Maybe some with extensive tasting experience from the Hermitage slope might niggle about level of concentration but idk - I’d like to meet a better wine. Chave’s ‘15 also in Provence at half going rate is also on the level of complete pleasure with similar aromas and flavors even more concentrated and massive yet also more aggressively tannic which I am certain from reading will fall into complete balance in a few to several years.
