Kräftiges Rubinrot, praktisch keine Alterstöne. Die Nase ist anfangs still, braucht etwas Zeit, zeigt dann sortentypische Noten nach weissem Pfeffer, Leder, dahinter eine reife Frucht und etwas Eukalyptus, florale Noten. Der Auftakt ist rund und weich, dann packt der Wein zu, die Tannine sind markant, jedoch von sehr guter Qualität, seidig mit der Frucht verwoben, harmonisch mit der Säure. Ein ausgewogener Wein, mit Würze und Lebendigkeit, einem sehr langen Abgang und würzig-rotfruchtigen Rückaromen. In einem Top Trinkfenster, jedoch mit Reserven. Jetzt bis 2032

No proper notes but I just remember this being so elegant and Burgundian. This bottle could have used more time but I still enjoyed the hell out of it. I really understand the appeal. A good amount of sediment. Probably should have been stood up.

Definitely has another 15 years ahead of it but boy was the leather nose and tapenade mouth singing today !!! Drank with a beef wellington, gratin dauphinois and haricot verts. As in a different league to a nonetheless very nice Bonneau Chateauneuf 2001 altogether

93/94 points I would say, but only had one glass at dinner (four hours after decanting)... this is a full bodied Rhone wine (no surprise) and I gotta say I think if I had discipline maybe I should have given it another 15 -20 years... this thing seemed super nice and yet sooo young at this stage... oh well, patience didn't win out this time

Bought on release, one of many bottles consumed, sound cork. Lovely classic Hermitage, superb tannins, ready to go. Super with duck meal.
