Deep inky-violet. Sweet, lush nose offers ripe cassis, dark plum, cracked pepper, violet and dark-roast coffee. Ripe and powerful on the palate, with concentrated flavors of dark fruits, anise and sweet tarry oak spices. Finishes chewy, juicy and long.

CS. Very exciting wine. Florent Viale’s name may have been made by Crozes but this Hermitage, made in tiny quantities from a 1.5 ha plot in Beaumes, is fascinating. At the moment a bit pinched and taut with some carbon dioxide and quite a bit of acidity on show at the moment but majesty lurks underneath it all. (JR)
