A wine that is dominated by ripe exotic fruits, plums and a hint of green figs. There is wood, but it is not at all obvious, while the ripeness is balanced with a touch of acidity and some attractive bitter-almond flavors.

This is distinctive, marked by minor floral notes alongside green olives and red pepper flakes. Cherry fruit provides a foundation for all of this complexity, but overall it lacks a little concentration. Pretty and charming; drink now.

Philippe Desmeure has two small parcels of the Hermitage hill, near Jaboulet’s La Chapelle vineyard. With malolactic fermentation in the barrel, and 100% new wood, this wine, named after his daughter, has sweetness, richness, black fruits and firm, dry tannins. This sample was spoiled by an animal rusticity that may fade as the wine ages.

Named after owner Philippe Desmeure’s son, this has a new wood dominated wine, but also with dusty tannins and ripe, black fruit flavors. It was aged in small 225-liter barriques and this has given the wine a polished, ripe perfume of spices and new wood.

A long maceration and aging on large 600-liter barrels has given this wine a dominance of fruit flavors. Aromas of violets and ripe fruits follow on the palate with red fruits, fine tannins, spices and a good twist of acidity.

A bit floral at first...this seems promising. A medium-bodied wine that folds in cherries and berries judiciously mixed with peppery spice. Firmly structured, this could age 2–3 years.

Complexity pours off the wine's nose in the form of fine herbs, meatiness, floral spice and deep black fruit. It's as full and creamy as you could want, with very ripe but balanced blackberry, pepper and more. Maybe a bit soft and over-the-top, but that just means it's more ready to go than most Hermitage reds.

Fragrant, harmonious nose of ripe blackberry fruit, floral nuances, touch of ash and barnyard. Striking pure fruit flavors with peppery notes, chocolate and underpinning spice. Full-bodied with a succulent mouthful, quite extracted but balanced and a long tannic finish. Needs some time.

Impressively dark in color and flavor, with bold plum and pepper notes leading the way. It’s crisp and youthfully tight, and although it lacks flesh now, it should blossom in 2–3 years. Drink 2008–2012.
