2005 Clos de l'Hermitage CDR

[Drew]

Henri de Lanzac.
Equal parts Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah. Dark garnet in the glass. Wonderful berry flavors of Cherry, raspberry, cranberry, blackberry with hints of herb and cherry chough drop. Silky with good balance and plenty of fine grained tannins that require decanting at this stage. I opened the wine 2 days ago, tasted and let sit on the counter for 24 hours before revisiting, which allowed the wine to open beautifully. I won't open another for several years. Recommended. 13.5% Alc/vol. Bought several six packs @ under $20 per bottle.
