Ermitage, L`Ermite, Hermitage, Chapoutier
Note:
A more near-term candidate for consumption is the 2007 Ermitage lErmite. It is a more austere, slightly less concentrated effort possessing notes of powdered rock as well as red and black fruits, full-bodied power, and a long finish. It is not among the pantheon of the most compelling Ermitage lErmites made by Michel Chapoutier, but it is certainly an outstanding one. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2035. RP
