15,5/20 Sehr ausdrucksstarke Nase, Tiefe, gut eingebundenes Holz, in der Mitte kleiner Hänger, Abgang mit sehr guter Struktur, würzig und lang.
Nul doute que ce Saint Chinian 2003, Hecht & Bannier, composé de Syrah en grande majorité, de grenache et de mourvèdre saura relever le défi de l’harmonie de sa couleur riche et profonde, de ses tanins mûrs et enrobés, et surtout de ses saveurs poivrées mêlées de jolis parfums de garrigue. Un must en Languedoc! […]

91/100 Their 2003 Côtes du Roussillon Villages (from Grenache and Carignan with a bit of Syrah and Mourvèdre) represents a selection for the best half dozen districts and soils of Roussillon, matured mostly in larger-than-barrique barrels. Aromas of black cherry, soy, resin and herbs lead to a polished, indeed positively creamy palate loaded with cherry […]
89/100 In the nose Hecht & Bannier’s 2004 Minervois (a Syrah-Grenache-Carignan blend) mingles dried and distilled fruits (cassis, cherry, cranberry) with garrigues and ocean spray minerality. Brimming with sappy fruit, resinous herbs, and a meaty pan dripping-like essence, this wine displays a lovely counterpoint of creamy texture with bright, subtly tart fruit and a satisfyingly-long […]
92/100 The Hecht & Bannier 2003 Saint Chinian (from Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre) utterly belies its vintage, while demonstrating the heights to which its appellation can aspire.
