  {bought on release, 2-3 mm ullage after 19 years, perfect cork} Huge, ancienne regime challenging wine. Not for people who think 20 year old Hermitage should be sorted out and easy. Opaque. Took 2 hours for the initial volcanic, sulfury, beguiling volatile, enticing, feral nose to clean up and the initial monolithic wine to begin opening; classic Syrah Hermitage flavor set, if not as elegant as Chave.... Whitman's note from 2021 spot on. Half tasted, half reserved for day 2 when classy Hermitage more evident. Very good length. Huge sediment, like mud. Wish I'd had it with a charred steak. Delicious after 3 hours day 1 and on tasting day 2. I think was $70 in closeout bin 2006 when purchased. Likely have more and happily so.

  While this bottle wasn't as obviously flawed as its port-ish twin, it wasn't great either. Too soft and ripe, with not enough freshness and a cooked overtone.

  Flawed, liquor like notes, feels cooked. Opened another bottle from the same batch which was fine.

  After a disapointing 2007 Cuvée Emilie which was over the hill, i felt like trying this. And this is a completely different story and classy in every sense.
  Sweet blackberry, bitter cherries, licorice and a lot of smoke on the intense nose. Very ripe, concentrated and sweet fruit on the palate, which is just delicious. Ending in a long finish where the structure kicks in. This is a hedonistic Hermitage and ready to drink.

  紫色调，酒质稠密。黑莓、蓝莓的果味，香草、紫罗兰和一点巧克力的桶味，以及存在感极强的烤羊肉味。入口还很年轻，十分浓缩，有热年的痕迹，单宁的处理比较平滑，集中度很高。
