Chapoutier, Ermitage Meal Blanc Vintage:2021 fresh and even cool yetShowing some of the more mature notes found in the 2006, the medium gold colored 2004 Ermitage le Meal Blanc is another incredibly concentrated, thick and unctuous effort that's overflowing with notes of browned butter, marzipan, honeyed gold fruits and smoked earth. Layered, full bodied and with notable freshness and purity, it's drinking beautifully today but has another two plus decades of evolution.
