Marc Sorrel, Hermitage other_regions the larger-scaled flavors possess morePeppery and meaty notes combine with ripe cherries and cassis on the nose of the 2017 Hermitage. It's medium to full bodied, possessing a certain tension between the fruit, the crisp acids and the firm tannins. There's more austerity to this wine than in most vintages, and it shows some dusty tannins on the finish.
