| Chateau/Producer: | M. Chapoutier | | Wine Name: | La Sizeranne Hermitage | | Country: | France | | State: | Rhone | | AOC: | Hermitage | | Region: | Tain | | Wine Score: | 90 | | Notes: | Garnet/ruby in color with pink edges; nose of leather and straw; explosive and tangy flavor of bright fruit. Medium to light bodied. A very delicious, smooth wine (owing to its 10 years of age) but I fear the tannins can't keep up and while this wine is quite enjoyable, it's not as well balanced as other vintages of this faire might be.
Update: I tasted this wine again about two hours later and it became even more dense and rich, and I updated my score appropriately. This is a wine that really benefits from extensive decanting. | | Tasting Date: | 2004-06-23 |
