licorice and ample black fruits

The freshest nose to this point with an earthy extract of red and black cherry and pinot fruit aromas that introduce edgy and firmly if not aggressively structured medium full flavors that are quite complex and this finishes with a noticeably dry

slight earthiness on the entry and truffle and black pepper toward the lightly spiced finish

it s medium to full-bodied

The richness really comes through on the finish

Chapoutier, Ermitage Blanc Oree other_regions licorice and ample black fruitsMore polite but superripe aromas of apple and honey. Very rich on the palate, with flavors of apple, honey and hazelnut complicated by suggestions of roasted herbs, grass and white flowers. Fat, dense and satisfying. This is over 14% alcohol with no chaptalization. Stephen Tanzer
