Description

JD97 Now showing a kiss of maturity, the 2005 Hermitage Blanc is still a healthy medium gold hue and offers a gorgeous nose of green almonds, honeyed stone, brioche, and marzipan, with a wonderful core of rich, opulent fruit. Concentrated, full-bodied, and textured, this beauty is ready to go yet should hold nicely for another 10-15 years.

RP96 The 2005 Hermitage blanc is an amazing effort that defines the classic style of white Hermitage. It offers hints of marzipan, roasted hazelnuts, quince, licorice, honeysuckle, citrus oil, and wet stones. It is a superbly concentrated and powerful wine. It should drink well for 30+ years.
