Coming from a site on the eastern side of the hill the 2019 Hermitage Les Diognieres reveals a dense purple color as well as a beautiful array of cassis and darker berry fruits along with notes of pepper loamy earth and cedary spice. Just gorgeous on the palate and all about finesse and elegance it has silky tannins full body no hard edges and remarkable balance. I love it today yet it has a solid 20+ years of longevity ahead of it.

Cedar and cracked pepper notes mark the nose of the fully destemmed 2019 Hermitage les Dionnieres backed by ripe blueberries and black cherries. Smooth ripe and creamy in feel this full-bodied yet supple Hermitage looks to be a top-flight effort. With the concentration and balance evidenced on the long silky finish it's delicious now and should still be going strong well into the next decade.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Inviting with warm plum compote and cherry pâte de fruit notes laced with melted red licorice red tea fruitcake and floral accents. The nice polished feel through the finish adds to the flattering style. Best from 2023 through 2033. ?J.M.
