Score 96/100 · Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate
There are a substantial 909 cases of the 2017 Ermitage de l'Oree. Sourced from Les Murets' clay soils, it combines hints of struck flint with honey, pear and baking spices on the nose. Full-bodied, with a layered sense of richness and ample concentration, it's a big but balanced wine. While it lacks the zest and freshness of the 2016, it should still drink well for close to two decades. Oct 2018, www.robertparker.com
