Superb mature expression from prestigious Hermitage terroir. Deep ruby with garnet edges. Nose: beautiful complexity with dark berries, dried fruits, leather, tobacco, crushed stone and subtle smoke. Palate: wonderful harmony between preserved black fruits and tertiary game, olive tapenade and spice. Full-bodied with beautifully softened tannins. Remarkably long finish with distinctive mineral character showcasing iconic granite terroir. [Rhone Roots 2025, Lumiere London]
