Note di degustazione
Mid-deep garnet. Grilled meat, oxidative tones to blackberry fruit, with crushed-rock minerality and truffle development. Touch of cooked tomato – feels like a cool-vintage nose. Fine, but firm tannins are still fully in command of the palate. Brisk acidity and drying raspberry fruit. Meaty and flinty, with a very savoury, long finish. Still not ready. (TJ)

Inky ruby. Intensely aromatic cherry and dark berry aromas are complemented by hints of licorice, peppery spices and cola. Deeply concentrated but taut dark fruit flavors show a suave blend of power and vivacity, and a mineral nuance adds lift. Gains heft and sweetness on the clinging finish, which features a smoky mineral quality and fine-grained tannins that come on slowly.
The 2013 Hermitage La Sizeranne is gorgeous and might just be the best vintage of this cuvee to date, when all is said and done. Offering beautiful minerality in its cassis, black raspberry, crushed rock, and licorice aromas and flavors, it’s medium to full-bodied and has plenty of tannin and integrated acidity -- all of which will allow it to drink nicely for 10-15 years. They’ve been experimenting with the elevage for this cuvee and it’s paying off.
