Review

"The 2005 Hermitage displays the classic creme de cassis notes, road tar, hints of roasted meats, with strong floral and mineral characteristics. Full-bodied, powerful, and rich, this will be a backward style of wine. The wine has sensational richness and plenty of structure in a masculine, firm, yet elegant style." - 94-96pts, Robert Parker
