Notes of beef blood, smoked game, tapenade, creme de cassis, and charcoal jump from the glass of the dense opaque purple-colored 2008 Ermitage Le Meal (350 cases). This chewy, thick, unctuous effort is a revelation for this vintage. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate February 2011

A cool, rainy and difficult year in the Northern Rhone, the 2008 Ermitage le Meal is still beautiful and has a semi-opaque, ruby color, complex notes of spiced meats, saddle leather, incense and sweet red fruits, and medium to full-bodied richness on the palate. Elegant, with fine tannin and excellent purity of fruit, enjoy it anytime over the coming decade. Sep 2015, www.robertparker.com
