Flight 6 - Hermitage / Saint Joseph 2010 (3 Notes)

  • 2010 Delas Frères Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes 93 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

    Nose: Coal, bonfire, burnt. Still open and charming blackberry fruit.
    Palate: Full-bodied blackberry fruit followed by a wall of acidity and a finely grained tannin.
    The tannins are almost violent at the moment and not a very fun wine to drink at the moment. Still a solid potential.

  • 2010 E. Guigal St. Joseph Vignes de L'Hospice 95 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, St. Joseph

    Nose: Sweet fruit and burnt coal.
    Palate: Compact young fruit and a lot of acidity and a little blood.
    Still very primary but still in a good balance and it is drinking really nicely right now.

  • 2010 Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie 96 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie

    Explosive sweet and warm dark plum fruity nose in a very modern style. Lots of complexity yielding vanilla, meat and lots of Earl Gray tea. Beautiful nose.
    Compact and tightly wound sweet dark plum flavors with a touch of pine needles and meat. A sexy palate but still with a cool elegance.
    Perhaps a bit simple on the palate at the moment but a solid wine.

  • 2010 Rene Rostaing Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 98 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie

    Earthy and perfumed dark plum nose with a beautiful touch of violets and sea water.
    Tight cool and polished plums on the palate with an almost violent structure. A huge wine that seem complete but still extremely young.
