Superb elegant Hermitage. very young. During the time in decanter it opened up, but in my opinion most of all because the temperature of the wine went down, and this showed an enormous complexity combined with freshness and elegance. Lots of flowers, and white fruit.

Wow! I did not expect much from this wine, but I was positive surprised. After 30 years there were the nice aging aspects with obvious animal and tobacco notes, and fruit was still present. Drying Tannins. Color showed minimal off-red signs. Great performance!

Rich and powerful, earthy, black fruit, good acid support, good length. 93/94. I am confident it will develop in a positive way.
