Critics Ratings

‘The 2001 Hermitage possesses a classic feel in its blackcurrant, olive, underbrush and meaty personality. At the early stages of maturity, with medium-bodied richness, integrated acidity and a clean, lengthy finish.’ – Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Sep 2015)

‘Good ruby-red. Hugely ripe nose combines roasted currant, cherry, licorice, gunflint, pepper and roasted herbs. At once fat and stony, with chewy, tactile flavors of cherry, leather and earth. Most impressive today on the explosive, palate-staining back end. This classic young Hermitage really calls for a decade of cellaring.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92/100 (Jan 2005)
