Fresh, lively, medium bodied, with bright red fruits with a hint of floral aromatics. The wine is elegant, bright and crisp with a sweet, black raspberry finish. The wine was made from a blend of 96% Syrah and 4% Vioginer and aged in mostly used French oak barrels, only 10% were new.

There is an easy, likable charm to this wine, which is not common for a young Hermitage. The wine is smoky, fresh, clean, pure and shows ripe, spicy, dark red fruits, with stone and polished tannic feel to the finish.

On the floral side of the style range, with fresh, vibrant, sweet, black raspberries, peppery cherries and just a hint of smoke and thyme. The fruit displays a good sense of purity and freshness in the soft textured, peppery finish. This is a nice wine and a fair value for Cote Rotie, which is an increasingly expensive region to buy wine from. The bottle was decanted about 2 hours before we started tasting it and it made a perfect match with the grilled pork chops.

Far too young, 2 hours in the decanter was barely enough to get the wine started. But as this was my first time tasting this wine, I was anxious to give it a spin. Tannic, concentrated and filled with peppery, blackberries, spicy black cherries, wet earth and just a bit of oak, this very young wine had a lot of freshness and the structure to age. I'd give it a decade before popping a bottle, if I had any.
