Lot 517 Details
M. CHAPOUTIER ERMITAGE ROUGE LE MÉAL 2010

Rhône.
u. 3 x 1 cm. 1 x 2 cm. 1 x scuffed label.

One of the stars of the retrospective was the 2010 Ermitage le Meal. This classic vintage yielded concentrated, fresh and structured wines and the 2010 has all of these traits in spades. Giving up a massive array of liquid rock, graphite, spring flowers, cassis and black raspberries, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a tight, structured, tannic mouthfeel and bright acidity, all while still showing incredible polish and elegance. It will certainly flirt with perfection at maturity, but is all about minerality and structure at the moment. Give this incredible effort 3-5 years of cellaring and enjoy it over the following 2-3 decades. September 2015 Drink: 2020-2050 WA 99+
