Ermitage L`Ermite Rouge M Chapoutier

Note:

Compelling scents of roasted meat, espresso and blueberries roar from the glass, joined by a hint of vanilla on the nose of the 2020 Ermitage l`Ermite. A huge behemoth of a wine in the mouth, it`s nevertheless an elegant beast that should easily be tamed by a few years in the cellar. Fans of all-out power might prefer this to the Le Pavillon in 2020, but for me, it`s a just a neck behind, nipped at the wire. Joe Czerwinski
