From the Winemaker:
Deep garnet red, with purplish lights. On the nose, red fruit (raspberry, blackcurrant), with a hint of licorice. A round and elegant wine with concentrated and gentle tannins. The final tastes are on blackcurrant, raspberry and spicy (pepper) aromas when it is young.
96 Points Jeb Dunnuck
"The 2017 Hermitage Monier De La Sizeranne can be thought of as the entry-level Hermitage, yet it's no lightweight, wussy of a wine and has fabulous Hermitage aromatics of crème de cassis, graphite, acacia flowers, and crushed stones. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and beautiful on the palate, it has incredible tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. This is pure class, and certainly not far off the top wines. It will keep for 25+ years."
94 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Scents of cassis and red currants emerge on the nose of the 2017 Hermitage Monier de la Sizeranne, a blend of fruit from across the entire face of Hermitage (but all from Chapoutier's own vineyards). It's full-bodied and concentrated, with a density not always found in this cuvée. Tannic and chewy yet mouthwatering on the long finish, it should drink well for a couple of decades."
94 Points Wine Spectator
"Ripe and focused, with brightness to the plum, red currant and black cherry fruit that races through, lined with subtle alder, sanguine and iron hints. The tight-grained finish shows nice underlying tension. Best from 2022 through 2035. 150 cases imported."
92 Points James Suckling
"This has rich and ripe dark berries and plums with violets and baking spices on offer, as well as a super fleshy and open-knit palate that delivers rich, succulent appeal."
