M. CHAPOUTIER ERMITAGE BLANC LE MÉAL 2005
Rhône.
u. 3 x 1 cm. 1 x scuffed label.
More over the top and decadent than the Cuvee de l’Orée, the 2005 Ermitage le Meal Blanc has overflowing notes of celery seed, sautéed peaches, honeycomb and underlying minerality that literally come soaring from the glass. Full-bodied, thick, unctuous and hedonistic to the max, it lacks a touch of the precision found in the Cuvee de l’Orée, yet makes up for it in sheer hedonistic pleasure and exuberance. It has the concentration to continue drinking nicely for another two decades or more. March 2016 Drink: 2015-2035 WA 96
