Alexandrins (Nicolas Perrin), Hermitage other_regions_australia Juxtaposed against the 1996 Haut-Batailley

Juxtaposed against the 1996 Haut-Batailley I find more energy in this

class and impressively persistent finish

and it's great to see all of the Jaboulet team's hard work in the vineyards paying off

A much more elegant nose displays cool and ultra-fresh aromas of both red and dark pinot fruit that is trimmed in much more subtle oak nuances

Alexandrins (Nicolas Perrin), Hermitage other_regions_australia Juxtaposed against the 1996 Haut-BatailleyVery sleek, with wonderfully pure damson plum, blackberry and black currant fruit stitched with singed fennel seed, alder and black tea notes. Not as dense as the best, but with nice cut and persistence. Drink now through 2022. 300 cases imported. JM
