WINE =======: 1996 M. Chapoutier La Sizeranne Hermitage AOC : Hermitage Tasting Date: 2004-06-23 Score : 90 Country : France State : Rhone Region : Tain 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.
