M. Chapoutier - Ermitage L'Ermite 2006 (750ml)
M. Chapoutier Description
COLOUR : very deep garnet red, almost black.
NOSE : black fruits with spices and ink overtones.
MOUTH : tannins are in the same time powerful and velvety. Smoky and pepper overtones express wonderfully the Syrah variety on granitic soil. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years.
Wine Spectator: 97 Points
This is tightly wound, but also supersleek and racy, with a terrific beam of blackberry and raspberry ganache pushed by graphite, iron and violet notes. Long and extremely precise, with a terrific mouthwatering undertow. Best from 2010 through 2026. 955 cases made. –JM
