Maison M Chapoutier – de L’Oree – 2009
Hermitage

France,
Rhone Valley,
Still rather youthful nose, stone fruit, honey, nuts and almond notes. The palate is more expressive than the nose, broad and mouth filling with apricot, floral notes, nuts and minerality, good integration of oak, very good substance and extract - it shows plenty of power, but needs to be allowed time to come around and develop nuance. Excellent length.
