With respect to the red Hermitage cuvees, Sorrel produces both a Cuvee Classique and his single vineyard Le Greal, made from tiny yields from parcels on Le Meal and Greffieux that average 45 years in age. Both cuvees were made in 1992, but in 1993 Sorrel declassified Le Greal, blending it with his Cuvee Classique. This was the first time I had tasted these wines since they had some bottle age, and all of them scored slightly lower than in the past. The 1992 Hermitage Le Greal exhibits a deep, ruby color, as well as attractive notes of cassis, cherry, herbs, and spice in its aromatics. It is an excellent, tannic wine revealing full body, good flavor extraction, and a spicy, long finish. Drink through 2010.

Served this wine at my Friday evening tasting in March 2008. The customers really enjoyed it, from snobs to novices.- Rustin, John's Fine Wine Director
