  Served (30 min decant) w/Prime Beef Sandwiches.
  
  Purplish red on the pour. Dark red fruit on the nose. Blackberry, Plum and Dark Cherries on the palate. Supple tannins, initially slightly harsh, smoothed out during the course of the meal, ending with just a touch of pucker and fuzzy-tooth feel. Ample acidity; Pleasant lingering finish with a hint of residual minerality.
  
  I did an informal taste test with a 2019 Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon, Decoy Limited Edition wine that I had previously opened. In comparison the Clos l'Hermitage seemed to be a little smoother and refined.
