Tasting Notes

As usual, the 2019 Hermitage remained largely as separate components at the time of my visit. Some pre-blending had occurred, so i tasted a combination of Beaumes and Peleat, as well as components from L'Ermite, Meal and Bessards. Uniformly full-bodied, concentrated and long, with rich, velvety tannins, dark-fruit flavours (cassis, blueberries, boysenberries) and hints of crushed stone and liquorice, comparisons with 2003 aren't unreasonable 97-100 Wine Advocate

Pairs well with

Lamb, Red Meat
