Paul Jaboulet, Hermitage, La Maison Bleue 2016 Sherry The concentrated94 CellarTracker The nose is initially light, opening to reveal seductive black cherry and blueberries, sizzling bacon and peppery smoked meats, licorice, violets, cigar wrapper, smoky barbecue, sweet incense The palate continues on with confit blackberry, light spice and ground coffee.
