Ermitage Blanc, De L'Orée--Vintage 2000
Rhône. French-bottled: Chapoutier
Tasting note: These wines usually flirt with perfection, which is the case with the 2000 Ermitage Cuvée de l'Orée. It boasts an amazing nose of licorice, minerals, acacia flowers, honeysuckle, and a hint of butter. Unctuously-textured and full-bodied, with great intensity and purity, yet remarkably light on its feet, it can be drunk over the next 3-4 years, then forgotten for a decade, after which it will last for 40-50 years. 100 points.
