A wine that seems to pack more and more quality with each vintage, the 2012 Ermitage le Meal Blanc is borderline perfection, and didn't lose a beat being served beside the de l’Orée and l'Ermite. Flamboyant, ripe, honeyed and decadent, with thrilling white currants, buttered citrus, orange blossom and licorice, it too is a massive wine that will have decades of life. Make no mistake though, it's gorgeous even today.-Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
An unashamedly rich and opulent wine, surging with plush ripe stone fruit, buttery and thick. Its demeanour is golden and sunny, with bright flecks of fresh mango and yellow plum. Hugely structured, not through acidity but thorough palate presence, showing glycerol and intense spice. A vigorous wine with a long life ahead.-Natalie Earl, Decanter
