Marc Sorrel, Hermitage Vintage:2015 Good acidity gives the palate

Good acidity gives the palate length and finesse

There is enormous depth to this voluminous Malartic-Lagravière

aged in two-thirds foudre and one-third demi-muids and drawn exclusively from sandy sites

But hard work does pay off

Inky violet color

Marc Sorrel, Hermitage Vintage:2015 Good acidity gives the palatePeppery and meaty notes combine with ripe cherries and cassis on the nose of the 2017 Hermitage. It's medium to full bodied, possessing a certain tension between the fruit, the crisp acids and the firm tannins. There's more austerity to this wine than in most vintages, and it shows some dusty tannins on the finish.
