“No, the 2007 Hermitage isn’t a brooding blockbuster. But it’s an exquisite wine, at its peak. Leather notes accent vibrant cherries and raspberries, while the medium to full-bodied palate is silky and expansive. This seems to grow and grow in the glass, finishing with a sense of elegance and poise. Drink 2011-2025.“95/100 Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate
