90 Points

Thursday, December 29, 2022 - Nose: musky, leather, smoke, coffee roast, banana, black pepper, violet
Notes: An excellent example of top notch Hermitage, very intense nose with quite a solid and fruity palate. One could say this should require a few more years to get to its best potential but it's already quite decent to consume now. However, I could say I'm a little skeptical if this wine will improve significantly with time and it is questionable if further potential can be released in the future. It feels that although the nose is already quite explosive and complete the palate lacks the elegance and durability. This could be caused by our decision to decant the wine. I would say that despite all the findings above I would give this wine another shot in a couple of years and see if I can draw a conclusion on this particular wine.
Rating: 90
