Boom goes the dynamite... Some nice scores on this wine too. Northern Rhone sub-region = Hermitage appellation. Think leather, blackberries and spice.

Tasted blind as a prospective blend, the 2017 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes looks to be a rather early-maturing rendering of the appellation. Hints of roses, tea, green olive and raspberries all mingle on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is softly dusty. Fairly complex and long on the finish, it's charming and approachable - Wine Advocate 94pts
