Drink 2020 - 2080
Lastly, from the very dome of the granite hill of Ermitage is the 2005 Ermitage l'Ermite. An extraordinarily powerful wine that probably needs 10-15 years in the bottle (last year I thought 20 was probably conservative), this is a 100-year wine and probably best appreciated by our descendants rather than anyone currently over the age of 30. Dense purple to the rim, with notes of crushed rock, charcoal, roasted meats, and enormous quantities of blue and black fruits, this wine is almost painfully rich and thick, with mouthsearing levels of tannin and zesty acidity. Monumental! Anticipated maturity: 2020-2080.

Drink 2010 - 2030
Super sleek and racy, with layers of red and black licorice snap, red and black currant, plum sauce, coffee, iron and violets. Incredibly long, with superb minerality that keeps it all harnessed, leaving a nearly saline-like feel on the tangy finish. A steel-plated version that should age beautifully. Best from 2010 through 2030. 617 cases made.
