The 1999 Hermitage Les Greffieres Cuvee Speciale (approximately 350 cases produced) is a blockbuster effort. The most powerful wine I tasted in de Vallouit's cellars, it is a black/purple-colored, unctuous Hermitage that represents the essence of blackberry liqueur infused with liquid minerals, smoke, and licorice. Thick and intense, it coats the palate, fills the mouth, and should prove to be an awesome Hermitage in 8-10 years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2030. Domaine de Vallouit's importer situation has been unstable for several years. At the time of writing, the wines were imported by Baron Francois, New York, NY.
