Faurie, Hermitage Bessard Meal other_regions This medium-bodiedInky ruby. Suave, mineral and spice accented aromas of blackberry, cherry and pungent flowers show superb clarity and energetic lift. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, displaying concentrated, sharply defined black blue fruit, violet pastille and spicecake flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. Finishes extremely long and mineral, with intense, spicy thrust, a hint of cracked pepper and youthfully chewy tannins. (red capsule) Josh
