Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 94
The 2005 Ermitage Les Greffieux is a beauty, but it has to take a backseat to the 2006. It has an admirable creme de cassis note, an inky purple color, plenty of meat, smoke, steel, and black fruits in a dense, fleshy style. It is by far the most forward of the 2005 Ermitages. That¿s not to say there's any deficiency in tannin lurking underneath the wine's density and richness. It should evolve for 20-25 years.
Wine Spectator 95
Ripe and very fresh, with bright floral, licorice snap and cassis bush notes leading the way for plum sauce, blackberry and raspberrry fruit flavors. Long, taut finish shows fine structure of the vintage. 46 cases imported
Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 95
Opaque purple. Hugely aromatic, alluring bouquet of red berry preserves, violet, rose, smoked meat, minerals and black pepper. Saturates the palate with deep black raspberry and kirsch flavors, picking up tangy mineral and spice character with air. Utterly seamless Hermitage with outstanding finishing lift and precision.
