M. CHAPOUTIER ERMITAGE LE MÉAL 2012

Rhône.
u. 6 x 1 cm

Showing similar to last year, the 2012 Ermitage le Meal is a blockbuster that’s about as voluptuous and sexy as Hermitage gets. Loaded with cassis, black raspberry, leather, dried violets and wild herbs, this beauty is full-bodied, has tons of sweet tannin and brilliant purity of fruit. Given its wealth of material, low acidity and incredible texture, it should drink well all of its life. September 2015 Only 346 cases produced. WS 96 WA 98
