2020 | Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage 'La Maison Bleue' | Rhone United States with scents of mature fruitsDark ruby in colour with purple reflections and subtle brightening on the ochre rim. On the nose aromas of blueberry, blackberry, black cherry, subtle hints of liquorice and nougat, darkly mineral with fine oak spice and sweet tobacco. The palate is juicy and powerful, full of sweet cherry fruit with ripe, rounded tannins. Chocolatey and accessible with a saline minerality this is already well developed and easy to drink. 95 Pts Falstaff
