It finishes with incredible persistence

Note that my predicted range offers some benefit of the doubt though what is clear is that the underlying material is not at the standard displayed by the Richebourg

Yann Chave, Hermitage other_regions_italy It finishes with incredible persistenceIntense butcher's shop aromas, with smoked meat and a touch of VA. Powerful but not overly full in the mouth, the tannins are still chiselled and serrated. Piercing acidity runs through it to a very long, powerful finish. It's ready now, but will age with real interest. Really fabulous, growling and energetic an Hermitage in wolf's clothing.
