Tasting Notes

The 2016 Hermitage Les Bessards offers more violets and floral notions, with hints of blue fruits (cassis, blueberries), full-bodied richness and building, sweet, polished tannin. It's another ripe, opulent 2016 that's going to drink nicely in its youth, yet age gracefully given its purity and balance. While a step back from the otherworldly 2015, this brilliant wine is one of the gems in the vintage.
