"Brought up all in new oak, the 2019 Hermitage Cuvée Emilie reveals a dense purple color as well as pure cassis and blackberry fruits, notes of scorched earth, graphite, crushed stone, and burning embers, full body, ripe, building tannins, and a great finish. It needs 4-5 years to integrate its oak, but this is a gorgeous Hermitage from this family run estate that should have 25+ years of overall longevity." 95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
