M. Chapoutier Ermitage "L'Ermite" Blanc Hermitage 2017
100
Wine Advocate
(10/31/2018) "As in 2016, my favorite of the white parcel selections this year is the 2017 Ermitage l'Ermite Blanc (231 cases produced), as it perfectly balances richness and power with refinement and structure. Toasted brioche and citrus marmalade, honey and truffle notes deliver sheer full-bodied, mouth-filling decadence, supported by austere notes of crushed granite, zesty grapefruit rind and cooling brine. Huge and intense yet refreshing, it's the essence of granite-grown Marsanne. Drink Date: 2018 - 2040"

M. Chapoutier Ermitage "L'Ermite" Rouge Hermitage 2017
100
Wine Advocate
(12/19/2019) "The 2017 Ermitage l'Ermite is equally astounding but a completely different expression of Hermitage. Somehow this combines the reservedness of le Pavillon with the generosity of le Méal, resulting in a wine that I can only describe as perfect. The pristine cassis fruit is remarkably pure, joined by complex notes of crushed stone, salted licorice and the slightest hints of fine-grained oak. It's full-bodied, concentrated and velvety in texture, with oodles of chewy but ripe tannins and a finish that goes on for minutes.Drink Date: 2025 - 2045"

(1/24/2018) "Lastly, and a legendary wine in the making, the 2015 Hermitage La Chapelle is reminiscent of the 1990 with its full-bodied, opulently, sexy, yet concentrated style. Offering sensational notes of blackcurrants, smoked herbs, beef blood, and chocolate, it's a huge yet elegant wine that has masses of sweet tannin, incredible purity and finesse, and a killer finish. It's the finest wine from this estate in close to 30 years. Hats off to Caroline Frey and Jacques Desvernois! Maturity: 2026 - 2066."

Clos St Jean "La Combe des Fous" Chateauneuf du Pape 2017

(8/17/2019) "The 2017 Chateauneuf Du Pape La Combe Des Fous checks in as a normal blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest Vaccarese and Cinsault, raised in tank and demi-muids. Kirsch liqueur, white flowers, graphite, ground pepper, and obvious minerality all emerge from this ethereal yet powerful, concentrated 2017. It's very much in the more Provencal, elegant style of this vintage, yet has classic Clos Saint Jean purity, style, and power. It's a gorgeous wine. Maturity: 2019 - 2037"

Domaine Jamet Cote Rotie 2016
96
Vinous, Josh Raynolds
(3/2019) "Deep, lurid purple. Assertive, highly perfumed aromas of fresh blackberry, cherry, Moroccan spices and violet pick up olive and licorice nuances with air. Juicy, energetic and appealingly sweet, offering palate-staining red/blue fruit preserve, spicecake and violet pastille flavors that become deeper as the wine opens up. The floral and mineral notes repeat with gusto on an impressively long, focused finish that features youthfully firm tannins and a touch of bitter chocolate. Drinking window: 2025 - 2035"

Domaine Vincent Paris "La Geynale" Cornas 2013

(11/18/2015) "As normal, the 2013 Cornas la Geynale is the most structured, tannic and age-worthy in the lineup. Coming from the Geynale and Reynard lieux-dits, and fermented with 100% whole clusters, it spent 18 months all in two- to eight-year-old barrels. Its inky purple, mostly opaque color gives way to masculine (classic Cornas!) notes of crushed rocks, charcoal, wood smoke and plums. Big, medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and with plenty of tannin, it needs 2-4 years of cellaring and will drink well for a decade after that."

(8/28/2018) "Moving to the Chateauneuf-du-Pape from bottle, the 2016 vintage was described as having the power of 2010 and similar to yet fresher than 2007. The 2016 Chateauneuf-du-Pape offers a great bouquet of black raspberries, tapenade, crushed violets, and spring flowers, and shares lots of similarities to the Chaupin cuvee (and it's less expensive!). Full-bodied, incredibly elegant and seamless, it might be the finest traditional cuvee ever produced from this estate."

Marie et Pierre Benetiere Condrieu 2013

Vinous, Josh Raynolds
(7/2017) "Pale gold. Intense, mineral-laced aromas of fresh peach, pear skin, tarragon and white flowers pick up a smoky nuance with air. Concentrated and juicy in style, offering sappy white peach, pear nectar and honey flavors enlivened by nervy mineral and ginger nuances. Finishes on a stony note, showing excellent persistence and lingering suggestions of orange pith and dried pear. The interplay of power and vivacity here is pretty impressive."

(1/2018) "The 2015 Cornas Renaissance is sensational, and in the same league as the 2010, although it's made in much more forward, sexy and seamless style. While from the younger vines of the estate, we're still talking about 40- to 50-year-old vines, primarily in the Les Sabarotte and Geynale lieux-dits, made in the exact same way as the grand vin. Offering full-bodied richness, moderate acidity, and incredibly polished tannin, it's as drinkable as it gets, yet has plenty of muscle and fat. Huge notes of black cherries, blueberries, scorched earth, pepper, and game literally soar from the glass of this opaque purple/ruby colored gem that can be enjoyed anytime over the coming 20 years or more."
