The Wine Advocate
Score : (89 - 91)
Another wine that showed better this year (which is no surprise as these wines always seem to improve with their élevage), the consumer-friendly 2014 Hermitage is a rounded, sexy and medium to full-bodied red that gives up lots of charcoal, dried violets, minerality, chocolate, and red and black fruits. It’s not going to keep for 30 years, but it will drink beautifully right out of the gate and keep through 2026, at a minimum.
