2021 Hermitage Rouge “La Pierrelle”

Barruol / Lynch
Discount Eligible $95.00
AT CART MAX

Head and shoulders the most regal wine of the trio, with a commanding presence in the glass and on the palate. A thick perfume of dry-aged meat, smoke, and violets preface a wine that is powerful, but in perfect proportion. Radiating class, it asks only for some time in a cellar to fully blossom.

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
