From the hill behind the river town of Tain l'Hermitage; AC #ermitage well occupied by two families; #chapoutier and #jaboulet; this #2006 shows its hot climate home on the terraces; #prune and #richberry ; 13.5% gives linear tannins to make it so magnificent #oakintegrated

My top pick In a blind tasting of 5 Chapoutier single vineyard Hermitages (including a 99 point Parker that was 10 years older). Thought this wine was older than it turned out to be. Sweet fruit.
