Ermitage Le Meal Rouge, Maison M. Chapoutier 1997

Tasting Notes

The 1997 Hermitage Le Meal displays fat, plumpness, and richness, without losing the floral, minerality. It is a finesse-styled Hermitage, with concentrated black fruits, and a high-toned, structured, well-delineated personality. Because of low acidity and a plump, plush texture, this wine will be approachable at an early age. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2035.
