Fabulous notes of blackberry liqueur, crushed rocks, charcoal, and pen ink all flow to a full-bodied, concentrated 2015 that has beautiful purity of fruit, a deep, structured mouthfeel, and a great finish. It needs short-term cellaring and will cruise for 15-20 years.\u003cb\u003e-Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\"From a lieu-dit situated at the bottom of the slope, the 2015 Hermitage Les Dionnieres is a complex, savory wine, offering up notes of grilled marinated beef with undertones of cassis. Earthy and tannic, this is an uncompromising vin de garde that will require several years in the cellar to blossom. - Joe Czerwinski\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate (Issue #234, December 29th 2018), 94+ pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 115%;\"\u003e(all whole\r\nclusters; fermented and aged in neutral oak barrels) Youthful purple.

It's plush and silky on the palate but anchored by crisp acidity and finely edged, persistent tannins. Enjoyable now for its youthful, primary side, it should develop more savory complexity from 2025 and hold further. - ANNA LEE C.
