Untitled
"This is tightly wound, but also supersleek and racy, with a terrific beam of blackberry and raspberry ganache pushed by graphite, iron and violet notes. Long and extremely precise, with a terrific mouthwatering undertow. Best from 2010 through 2026. 955 cases made. –JM" -Rated 97, Wine Spectator

"There are nearly 1,000 cases of the 2006 Ermitage l’Ermite, another candidate for perfection in a few years. It boasts an inky/ruby/purple color as well as a stunning bouquet reminiscent of a grand cru Musigny from Burgundy. Spring flower, crushed rock, black raspberry, and black currant scents dominate the aromatics of this incredibly pure, full-bodied wine. With laser-like precision and enormous extract and concentration, it comes across as remarkably elegant and fresh with crystal clear focus. A beautiful tour de force from the decomposed granitic soils of this site on the top of the Hermitage mountain, this amazing wine requires a decade of cellaring, and should last for 35 years." -Rated 98, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Deep ruby. Stunning bouquet of mineral-drenched red berries, smoked meat, fresh and dried flowers and incense. Tangy on entry, then builds exponentially, saturating the palate with sweet raspberry, candied cherry and zesty minerality. Flat-out gorgeous wine, with a finish that will not stop." -Rated 94, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
