Hermitage Red Ferraton Les Miaux 2021

A well-composed, focused and layered Hermitage with so much density and texture. On the nose it reveals notes of blackberries, bark, baking spices and some smoke. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine yet firm tannins. Ample with a velvety texture at the center. Well-balanced and textural, with a flavorful finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. (jamessuckling.com,April 25, 2024)
