From the very good 2012 vintage and scoring 95/100 Parker Points, "the 2012 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes is a stunning effort that exhibits blockbuster notes of toasted spice, leather, peppery herbs and sweet black and blue fruit.
Seeing 16 months in 60% new French oak, it's a powerful, concentrated and full-bodied effort that has lots of tannin, but more than enough fruit to handle it.
Like the Les Bessards, shorter-term cellaring is advised here and it will have over two decades of longevity.
