but site- and vintage-typical suggestions of baked apple and vanilla were clearly in evidence

It has a much more sumptuous bouquet compared to the 2010

Les Vins de Vienne, Hermitage Chirats Saint Christophe other_regions but site- and vintage-typical suggestionsVivid ruby. Blackberry, cassis, cola and vanilla on the nose and in the mouth. Broad and seamless, offering intense, focused dark fruit preserve flavors that pick up a spicy quality with air. Smoke and licorice note carry through a long, sappy, gently tannic finish. This wine is surprisingly approachable but has the depth to suggest that it will age nicely as well. Josh Raynolds
