92+ points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points Stephen Tanzer. A wine of breeding and finesse that shows traditional European hallmarks of lavender and jasmine perfume, a silky texture and dark chocolate tastes. Hermitage is not a big wine. Drink now with a good 2 – 4 hour splash decanting, or hold two years to calm down. 93 cases. Unfined and Unfiltered.
