Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (100)

The 2004 Ermitage Le Meal blanc (266 cases) is total perfection in the bottle. Of course, this is supposedly the vineyard that so impressed Thomas Jefferson when he visited Hermitage in the late 1700s. Boasting an amazing concentrated essence of licorice, minerals, acacia flowers, and buttery honey, the wine is viscous, super-thick, rich, and mind-blowingly intense. Having just had an utterly perfect bottle of DRC 1973 Montrachet, I couldn’t help but think that this wine may well be even younger at a similar age.

Bold and honeyed, with dried tropical fruit flavors--papaya and mango--layered with fresh, sweetened butter, green almond and mineral notes. Flashy and powerful up front, but superrefined through the finish.
