Description

2000 Chapoutier – Wine Advocate # 147, Jun 2003: These wines usually flirt with perfection, which is the case with the 2000 Ermitage Cuvee de L’Oree. It boasts an amazing nose of licorice, minerals, acacia flowers, honeysuckle, and a hint of butter. Unctuously-textured and full-bodied, with great intensity and purity, yet remarkably light on its feet, it can be drunk over the next 3-4 years, then forgotten for a decade, after which it will last for 40-50 years.
