"The stunning, deep ruby/purple-hued 2006 Hermitage Le Greal (4,500 bottles produced) exhibits aromas of smoked duck, gamy animal, new saddle leather, creme de cassis, scorched earth, and truffles. This thick, rich, full-bodied, magnificent Hermitage achieved 15.5% natural alcohol. It will last for 20-25+ years.This is one of the most traditionally run domaines of the northern Rhone. For a number of years, Sorrel has been adding a white and red Crozes-Hermitage to his small portfolio."

"Glass-staining ruby. Hypnotic, explosive bouquet of black and blue fruits, cola, anise, violet and minerals. Weighty but almost shockingly lithe, with precise mulberry and boysenberry flavors and strong mineral and candied floral character. Becomes even sweeter on the finish, leaving strong floral and blue fruit notes in its wake."
