Vintages 2014

eRobertParker.com #222 - Dec 2015

Score : (91-93)

Showing similar to the 2013 last year, the 2014 Hermitage Blanc is elegant, fresh and medium to full-bodied, with slightly less density. I suspect it will gain a touch more depth over the coming year or two, and drink nicely on release. Jeb Dunnuck
