My second white Hermitage. I am beginning to understand a little bit of the special style of these wines. Directly after opening strong Pine apple scents, which dissappear quickly, after this honey. Taste also honey, spices, some bitter tones, orange. In the finish orange and spices.
Nose of tobacco, leather, black pepper, later white pepper. Lovely balanced mature taste, concentrated, nice acidity, sweet, red fruit, smooth, deicate, soft tannins, long finish.
Australia, South Australia, Mount Lofty Ranges, Clare Valley
Tasted together with a Chave Hermitage 1997. Nose white pepper, leather, cassis, coffee. Taste: immense body, dark fruit, plum, some mint and licorice, sweet, long finish. Interestingly, these wines show many similarities, the main difference is that this wine has a low acidity compared to the Hermitage.

Sweet citric nose with white flowers. Concentrated taste, mineral, a bit floral with a slight bitterness that is very appealing. Classic Puligny.
