Chapoutier, Ermitage Blanc Ermite Vintage:2020 mildly warm and youthfully austere

mildly warm and youthfully austere finale where a touch of bitter pit fruit character shows up

Chapoutier, Ermitage Blanc Ermite Vintage:2020 mildly warm and youthfully austereLimpid yellow gold. Expansive orange, dried pear, honeydew melon and floral aromas show outstanding clarity and mineral lift. Silky and taut on entry, then fleshier on the mid palate, offering powerful citrus, pit fruit and candied ginger flavors, along with subtle tarragon and vanilla qualities. Finishes on a resonating pear note, with emphatic mineral cut and excellent focus. Josh Raynolds
