2003 Delas Hermitage Marquis de la Tourette

Produced from a crop size that was 60% less than normal, the 2003 Hermitage Marquise de la Tourette exhibits an inky/ruby/purple color as well as scents of charcoal, licorice, creme de cassis, and crushed rocks. It is full-bodied, powerfully tannic, and rich with marvelous purity and length, and a surprisingly low 13.5% alcohol. It should drink well for 20+ years. Paker 95 points
