ChapoutierErmitage Le Meal2000
Northern Rhone
"The 2000 Ermitage Le Meal is better out of bottle than it was from cask. An opaque purple color is followed by a sumptuous nose of blackberry liqueur intermixed with ink, melted asphalt, camphor, and new saddle leather. Big, rich, broad, and expansive with a gorgeous texture as well as a 60-second finish, it is a full-bodied, opulent, surprisingly approachable offering. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2025." R. Parker for TWA, 95 pts. 06/03
12 bottles (owc)
Estimate $1,200-1,500
