Tasting Notes

Notes of beef blood, smoked game, tapenade, crème de cassis, and charcoal jump from the glass of the dense opaque purple-colored 2008 Ermitage Le Meal (350 cases). This chewy, thick, unctuous effort is a revelation for this vintage. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years.

Score: 92

Still youthful, with a layer of toast holding sway over the core of crushed plum, blackberry and mulled spice notes, which is weighty for the vintage. Shows good drive through the loam- and mineral-tinged finish, with slightly firm grip. Best from 2011 through 2017.
