2011 Ermitage de l'Ermite Blanc, M. Chapoutier
“Deep honeyed gold colour. Restrained and a bit introvert but more minerally than its Ermitage stablemates. Some dried apricots and real tension plus great texture and persistence. A real notch above the other Ermitage 2011s from this address. A skein of green vegetation too. Some real chew and interest and potential rather than just being friendly.” Jancis Robinson, 18.5 points
