The Hermitage Rouge le Meal Faurie Bernard 1999 stands out today for its fullness, taking advantage of a year of beautiful maturity to shape a profile of great distinction. Its melted substance releases notes of black cherry and sweet pepper, before stretching towards nuances of noble undergrowth of great elegance. On the palate, the silky texture testifies to a perfectly mastered evolution, offering a persistent finish and remarkable freshness for its age.

Vinous Tasting Note

(a blend sold primarily in England, but not shipped to the U.S.; lightly filtered but not fined) Bright full ruby. Sappy aromas of cassis, boysenberry and plum, with lightly roasted and gamey notes; rather Burgundian. Smooth and moderately dense; a fresh, elegant, polished style of Hermitage, finishing with good length and substantial but fine tannins. This is 13.2% alcohol, following a bit of chaptalization, says Faurie.
