Very elegant, minimal animal and much more olive, leather, black pepper and tea. Rustic but showing finesse with the age.

The most balanced 1996 Hermitage I have tasted yet. Overall, my impression of the vintage is summarized my an austere tannin and acid profile, nearly void of the fatty, fleshy and roasted meats so often characterized with the region.

By this point in the day, my note tasting was starting to suffer, but this was one of the wines of the day. Minty brambly fruit with lovely complexity and balance and the ineffable class that distinguishes the estate.
