Maison Chapoutier
Ermitage Rouge ‘Le Meal’ 2012
A ripe and powerful nose. Fresher than the Greffieux but still taught and muscular. Pure, ripe, slightly smoked blackcurrant/berry mingles with smoky oak. A monumental nose with the oak beautifully integrated. With time the minerality and herbal nuances become apparent.
Dry, soft acidity, medium-high tannins. Very silky and concentrated with glycerol coated blackcurrant/ berry. Delightfully smoky and meaty with an eruption of stony/ herbal notes on the middle. The freshness is amplified by its citrus demeanour but the fruit is so wonderfully soft and silky it balances rather well. The finish is at present masked by its generous tannins.
