This is an interesting wine because while there is good power the overall impression is one of restraint

perfumed red berry notes to this medium-bodied vintage of Colombier's Hermitage

leaving behind vibrant spice

this remains a seriously lovely effort that is classy and stylish if not perfectly balanced
