    My last of 9 bottles and this one was the most fresh. Poured with a straw colour; aromas & flavours of plum, green raisin, honey & roasted nuts. Velvety (not oily) and with a lovely acidic cut at the end.

    Have experienced wide bottle variation with this vintage, but ones showing best still have several years of life. I’d drink up, though, given the lovely balance between fruit, acidity and lack of buttery oxidative notes in the best showing bottles.

    just as good as my earlier tasting note. No rush with this wine.

    Great nose with apricot and honey. Very rich on the palette, again with yellow fruit, dille, herbs, but mostly apricot. Great length. Incredible wine, despite its low acidity, it stays interesting.

    Quite a bit of oxidation since the last bottle (tasted a year back), but it's wearing it well. Aromas of fennel, blanched almond, crème caramel and raisin tart. Palate picks up some latté and Persian green raisin flavours. Flamboyant, yes, but pulls it off. Lithe texture and underlying acidity really make this wine enjoyable. Long finish. I'm drinking my remaining bottles by 2015 to avoid an exaggerated oxidative profile. But right now, it's delicious.

    Smells and taste quite a bit more evolved than bottles enjoyed 1 and 2 years ago. Aromas & flavours of toast, green plum, green raisin, white pear, blanched almonds, brioche. Quite honeyed. Lengthy toasted coconut finish with plum and pear puree notes. Quite sherried on the finish. Going to keep my eyes on the evolution and oxidative profile. Still, very nice now.

    (REVERDY Ferraton Hermitage BLANC) Hermitage #2 Dear Friends, Here is another Ferraton wine that will make many friends regardless of predilection. When I blind tasted this wine, I was convinced it was from a vintage with far less ripeness than 2003 - I was wrong. Instead of spending twice this or more for Chapoutier or Chave (blanc), this is just as ambitious and like the other Ferraton wines, it is made by Chapoutier from an organic vineyard with an artisanal philosophy completely intact. Very impressive wine and I don’t usually like white Hermitage.... VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - EXTREMELY LIMITED (only 20 cases for the US): 2003 Ferraton Hermitage Blanc “Reverdy” Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Rhone8970
