Product Description
Description
It offers lots of black cherry and cassis fruit, notes of toasted spice, flowers, incense, and a bloody iron quality, fulll body, and ripe yet polished tannins. It’s a terrific balanced, incredibly satisfying Hermitage to drink over the coming 15 years or more. - Jeb Dunnuck, 2019

Critique Review
"Classic scorched earth, burning embers, cassis, and peppery notes emerge from the 2018 Hermitage Laurus. This medium to full-bodied beauty has a rounded, elegant texture, present yet ripe tannins, and a great finish. There are certainly plenty of tannins here, but the balance is spot on."
91 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
