Belle, Hermitage 1990

Deep red/purple, little sign of evolution.

Great smoky/sausage/light wilted green nose. Seamlessly integrated.

Round and fairly deep in the mouth, definitely middle-weight. This really expanded with air - the killer smoky/meaty thing repeating in the mouth. This was certainly one of the top two wines today. Deep and plush with a light, green edge of acidity.


$40 on release
