Score 17/20 · Drink 1988-2014, Jancis Robinson MW, Jun 2012
Pungent. Smoky nose. Light and fresh. Very pure even if clearly from a fairly light vintage. By no means typical of Hermitage. (JR)

Full, round and spicy, wild and gamey but very clean. No shortage of acidity but exciting, full, rich. (JR)
