Rhone / France

Red

Showing the sunny, supple and perfumed nature of the vintage, the 2011 Ermitage Les Greffieux gives up sweet red currants, blueberry, violets, graphite and spice in its medium to full-bodied, sexy style. Hard to resist now, it will evolve gracefully through 2026. I liked this bottle even a tad more than when I tasted it on release. Aug 2014, www.robertparker.com
