Community Tasting Note

Bordeaux_Jon Does not like this wine:

Saturday, November 14, 2020 - This wine makes a poor excuse for a California Syrah. Over ripe, austere, oaky, and soulless, it’s a waste of money and time. Tasted blind with a 2004 Pavillon and 2004 Voge Cornas Vieilles Vignes this wine failed to show up. Stay away. I don’t have faith age will help, it will just get old. Frankly, Pavillon is in a different league then other Chapoutier wines. Not sure why L’Ermite is getting the hype.

Update: had a little vial sitting in my wine fridge for two weeks and it’s shockingly not oxidized at all. It’s not much better than before either 😭 but suggests maybe this wine just needs a lot of time.
