this is the ace in Massolino's rotation

(from 70+ year old vines)

Peppery and meaty notes combine with ripe cherries and cassis on the nose of the 2017 Hermitage

A much earthier mix of red and dark currant

the nose is fantastically floral

Gloria other_regions this is the ace inThe 2010 Gloria has a very attractive and quite intense bouquet with a surfeit of blackberry and wild strawberry scents, cedar and light seaweed coming through with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with supple but firm tannins framing the pure blackberry and bilberry fruit, laced with black pepper and clove. Very complex, very focused and very precise on the finish, this is an outstanding 2010 Saint Julien. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10
