Lot 49 Details
M. CHAPOUTIER ERMITAGE L'ERMITE 2003

Rhône.
1 x scuffed label.

More youthful and backwards, the 2003 Ermitage L’Ermite has additional minerality, as well as the focus and purity that’s always imparted by this tiny lieu-dit. Inky purple in color, it offers up spectacular creme de cassis, blackberry, charred meats, graphite and toast as well as a full-bodied, massively concentrated profile on the palate. It’s a prodigious, insanely good wine that should be given another 2-3 years in the cellar, and enjoyed over the following two to three decades. April 2014 Drink to 2046 WA 100

3 bts.    per lot $1,600 - $1,800

Realised: $2,040
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
