Description

The blockbuster 2003 Hermitage Le Greal tastes like a liqueur of creme de cassis interwoven with liquid rocks and blackberry jam.Marc Sorrel told me it is "original",which I took to mean he wasn't especially fond of such a thick and enormously concentrated wine.It is a viscous,concentrated,powerful,full-bodied Hermitage with atypical definition and freshness for its high alcohol and super-endowed,thick,rich style.Give it 2-3 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 25.Unfortunately,production is a measly 175 cases.
(96+ Points).

Robert Parker. (The Wine Advocate. February 2006).


Saturated black purple.Slightly medicinal blackberry jam and bitter chocolate aromas of outstanding depth.Like a black hole on the palate,with very dense,thick,sweet flavors of blackberry,chocolate,minerals and spicecake.A wine of extraordinary solidity and palate-saturating extract,with the sheer material to support its 15.8% alcohol.This is almost too big for the mouth;I had the impression that it tried to exit my mouth through my front teeth.Extremely long,palate-dusting finish of lush black fruits and minerals."Une bombe atomique" Sorrel volunteers.
