2002 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes

Medium red-ruby, a bit lighter than the Cote-Rotie. Expressive aromas of blackberry, gunflint, pepper and mint. Very suave and lively in the mouth, with well-delineated flavors of raw cassis, pepper and spices. Finishes aromatic and persistent, with lively pepper and spice notes. A very juicy wine that should be flexible at the dinner table.
