2012 Chapoutier Ermitage L`Ermite Rouge

Ripe, sweet fruit on this. More attack than Pavillon and showing great energy. The tannins are almost invisible here, a Burgundian structure. (CW 03/06/13)

Jancis Robinson

Racy, sinewy, polished with refined ripe fruit underneath but very skilfully hidden. Long and juicy and so very different from Le Méal, for instance. Much less burly. Splits the difference between Méal and Greffieux. Wonderfully lifted nose. Savoury. Drink 2020-2040. 18.5 points
