93-95 JD. "Hitting blockbuster levels, the 2013 Hermitage Blanc les Rocoules is made from 90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne grown in the limestone soils on the eastern side of the appellation. A big, ripe, hedonistic beauty, it exhibits tons of white currants, almond paste, honey and pineapple to go with a fat, fleshy and full-bodied feel on the palate. It won't be for those craving lightweight aromas or flavors, but should deliver tons of pleasure over the coming decade or more." Jeb Dunnuck, The WIne Advocate, 29th Dec 2014 |
