The red wine Hermitage AOC L’Ermite, vintage 2009 from the winery M. Chapoutier has been rated in 2015 with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Syrah from the region Côtes du Rhône in France.
Deep dark ruby with purple reflections and a slightly watery edge. A definite woody spice to the nose, alongside black forest berries and fresh orange zest. An inviting savouriness in the background, with tobacco notes. A powerful palate that majors on black berry fruit and hints of plum, with a core of fruit sweetness and vivis tannins. Some nougat and mineral characters on the finish which feels still quite closed - still miles away from a first drinking window. Will shine, and with great delicacy, in the future.
