Marked acidity

Here too there is a discreet but still discernible dollop of wood surrounding the airy citrus

black cherries and violets with hints of dark chocolate

using 80% American oak and 20% French oak

Hermitage other_regions_italy Marked acidityBright medium ruby. Cool, perfumed aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate and mint. Intensely flavored, concentrated and firmly built, with bright acids lifting the berry, violet and licorice flavors. Quite youthfully unevolved but already displays impressive inner mouth perfume. Finishes with firm tannic spine. Stephen Tanzer
