Aurage Vintage:2014 This too is very good

This too is very good and should age effortlessly

amazingly soft for a young Hermitage

and it means the fruit struggles to break free

One of the top eight or so Brunellos of the 2013 vintage

the other 10% is Cabernet Franc

Aurage Vintage:2014 This too is very goodDeep garnet with bricky rim. More lifted than the 2007, deliciously spiced on the nose, a succulent spicy sweetness and just a hint of maturity in those mulched leaf notes. Structure is a little firmer here, both in the tannins and the acidity but even so it is really harmonious and elegant on the long finish. Moreish and mouth watering. Oak now nicely in the background. (JH)
