M. Chapoutier - Ermitage Vin De Paille 2002 (375ml)
M. Chapoutier Description
COLOUR : deep golden yellow.
NOSE : candied fruits and honey.
MOUTH : the wine has an outstanding balance, concentrated and a great length. This wine can be kept more than 50 years.
Vinous: 91 Points
Medium gold. Aromas of peach, barley sugar, honey, roasted nuts and clove. Supersweet and thick but fresh in the mouth, with flavors of dried apricot, honey, spices and earth. Not as voluptuous, full-blown or nuanced as the 2003 version, but I like the edge of fresh acidity on this wine's long, spicy finish. A bit lower in residual sugar than the '03, at 130 vs. 160 grams per liter.
