Robert Parker, February 2011, Score: 95
The spectacular 2007 Hermitage boasts a dense purple color along with notes of creme de cassis, loamy soil, crushed rocks and acacia flowers, a rare opulence and a full-bodied style. Reminiscent of the 1991 Hermitage (a great vintage for Chave as well as most top producers in Hermitage), it should drink well for 20-25 years. 2011-2036

John Livingstone-Learmonth, Score: 5 stars
full, shiny red robe. The nose is on reduction, gives an aroma of big red mulberry style fruit within, holds up safely and well, has some grunty depth and smoking. It is more square in shape than the 2006 tasted alongside it. The palate delivers bright red fruit on the attack; it is young, and not as fleshy as the 2006. Brisk tannins appear on the end. It is still more of a frame than a full wine. It closes with fine juice, anote of flowers. This will slowly gain over time. It is more cleanly struck than the 2006. www.drinkrhone.com

Region
Hermitage
Hermitage is a region that produces both red and white wines. Its famous red is made from 100% Syrah while the white is produced from Marsanne and/or Roussanne. A sweeter and very rare white wine is also produced from grapes that have been dried on straw before being pressed. A slighter warmer micro-climate enables Hermitage's red wines to have more ripeness and structure than Côte Rôtie which adds additional power and longevity. As a result, they are usually the most ‘masculine' styled reds in all of the northern Rhône.
