  Solid, but for the price level not outstanding. Comes across as a bit sturdy. Will keep for years to come, maybe will soften a bit in due time.

  Some early signs of evolution/varietal flavor and aroma, but not quite there yet. Better, I suspect, in another year or two.

  Easy to drink. Quite rounded with notes of oak, blackberry, chocolate and coffee. A bit too much oak makes it a bit blunt.

  Licorice notes in the aroma. Juicy red cherry that mixes with milk chocolate on a very long finish. Hit its peak at about 45 minutes of decanting.

  Being honest, this 'second' Hermitage of Jaboulet was a little disappointing. Classical style and certainly delicious, but feels like it's resting on its laurels. Hefty, oaky, but lacking real complexity 🇫🇷
  
  Alive at first opening, some characteristic perfumed blue fruit and black olive.
  
  Pretty generous use of new oak, which thankfully doesn't overwhelm but gives a big wollop of leather. Full body but with good lift. Blackcurrant, plum, top soil,more old vanilla and subtle cream from the oak
