"Lastly, one of the single greatest red wines I have ever tasted is the 2003 Ermitage l'Ermite. With 15.5% alcohol and a level of concentration the likes of which I have never before experienced, this wine has no historic reference point or precedent. Possessing off the charts richness and intensity, yet incredible vigor and refreshingness, it will require a decade of cellaring, but I'm sure bottles will be drunk with great pleasure circa 2099+. What an accomplishment!"(99-100pts RP)
