sweet tannins to round out the finish

Here the wood treatment isn’t subtle though neither is it sufficient to overshadow the wonderfully fresh and layered nose of blue pinot fruit

it benefits from the additional freshness and continuity provided by the sensations of mint and tobacco on its lingering finish

As I wrote when I tasted this 2014 La Clotte from barrel

detailed and sneaky long finish

Marc Sorrel, Hermitage Blanc Rocoules Vintage:2022 sweet tannins to round outBright yellow. Perfumed aromas of poached pear, orange, toasted grains and honey develop hints of smoky minerals and pungent flowers. Smooth and expansive on the palate, offering pliant, concentrated orchard and pit fruit flavors and a touch of fennel that builds in the glass. Finishes long, weighty and smooth, offering very good clarity and emerging honey and floral notes. Josh Raynolds
