“As usual, Chapoutier’s 2018 Ermitage l’Ermite is a standout among standouts. Crushed stone, blueberries, even a touch of herb feature on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is cool and crunchy but also ripe and generous. It’s rich and long, with a firm, granitic structure that should enable two-plus decades of aging. This has it all.” – Wine Advocate 98-100 Points
