Domaine Serene - Coeur Blanc 2005 (750ml) Callet The classic power of Hermitage

The classic power of Hermitage comes through at the extremely long finish

finishing chalky

it's interesting to note the evolution of the wines in bottle as they take aromas of curry

followed on airing by delicate notes of white blossom and tropical fruit

the Chardonnay grapes mixed with the Grillo variety

Domaine Serene - Coeur Blanc 2005 (750ml) Callet The classic power of HermitageCritical Acclaim 92 points Wine Spectator You could be forgiven for mistaking this for a rich, buttery Chardonnay, but on closer look it has a toasty, almost Champagne like flavor profile to go along with the rich, silky texture and spicy character on the long, polished finish. A floral note comes out of the background and makes a statement on repeated sips.
