Laurus Hermitage 2014

Grippy, with an earthy edge complementing the dried currant, fig paste, chestnut leaf and warm tobacco notes. The finish lets juniper and alder details take over, keeping this in the rustic camp despite the solid depth and flesh. Best from 2018 through 2024. 136 cases made. Score – 91.
