Score 17/20 · Drink 2017-2027, Jancis Robinson MW, Feb 2012

Heady and very rich and ripe. Velvety texture with real density. Opulent – in this case the intensity of the fruit trumps the slightly rustic finish. (JR)

Score 92-94/100 · Drink 2011-2026, Robert Parker, Dec 2011

Sorrel achieved the same percentage of natural alcohol in his 2010 Hermitage Le Greal, but production was slightly smaller because of some flowering issues with the Syrah. The 2010’s dense purple color is accompanied by notes of tapenade, damp earth, forest floor, charcuterie, blackberries and spice box. Full-bodied, soft, deep and surprisingly accessible for such a young Hermitage, it should firm up with bottle age and drink well for 12-15 years. (Not yet released) Importer: J.O.A.

Score 16/20 · Drink 2017-2030, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2011

Decanted. Dark crimson and very rich nose. A bit overly modern. Thick and sweet. Spearmint overtones. Not quite the purity I'd love. (JR)
