Tasting notes
Matt Walls · Decanter · 93
Blackcurrant pastille and violet scents; a medium-bodied fresh and juicy style. Not terribly tannic and with low acidity but nonetheless it has a sense of balance. An elegant style. From 60-year-old vines in Les Plantiers 90%) and Les Bessards 10%), all whole-bunch fermented.

Joe Czerwinski · Wine Advocate · 92-95
Chiefly 90%) from Les Plantiers—a little-known lieu-dit toward the western base of the slope—with about 10% Les Bessards, Sorrel's 2020 Hermitage looks like its customary supple, silky self, with masses of raspberry fruit, ample weight and richness and a long, elegant finish. It should drink well soon after release and evolve well for more than a decade.
