A wine that seems to pack more and more quality with each vintage, the 2012 Ermitage le Meal Blanc is borderline perfection, and didn't lose a beat being served beside the de l'Orée and l'Ermite. Flamboyant, ripe, honeyed and decadent, with thrilling white currants, buttered citrus, orange blossom and licorice, it too is a massive wine that will have decades of life. Make no mistake though, it's gorgeous even today.
More honeyed and flamboyant, the 2012 Ermitage Le Meal Blanc dished out aromas and flavors of exotic spices, buttered citrus, licorice and serious minerality. Full-bodied, voluptuous, decadent and almost chewy-rich, it's an incredible white that will also offer immense pleasure in its youth, yet be almost indestructible in the cellar.
