Ruby red in color, the wine entices immediately upon opening, offering a perfume of black fruits, violets and spice. But don’t sip it just yet: Because the wine is still young for a Hermitage, we recommend you decant the wine for at least an hour before serving. If you are patient enough to do so, we promise you’ll be rewarded with a perfectly balanced, voluptuous palate of blackberry, black currant and licorice.
