Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2001

Both the Les Rocoules and l'Ermite components of the 1999 Hermitage Cuvee Emilie rouge were tasted. Les Rocoules is full-bodied and tannic, with higher acidity as well as a closed personality. L'Ermite (70% of the final blend) reveals elegance in addition to oodles of blackberry and cherry fruit infused with smoke, minerals, and spicy new oak. Powerful and concentrated, the final blend will require 5-6 years of aging, and should drink well for nearly three decades.

Philippe Desmeures's 1999 Hermitage Cuvee Emilie rouge (1,000 cases) is a candidate for the "Hermitage of the vintage." About 70% of the grapes for this cuvee emerge from old vines located in L'Hermite (on the crown of the great dome of Hermitage) and the remainder from Les Rocoules. This extraordinarily intense offering boasts an opaque black/purple color (reminiscent of a cult Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa) as well as a sumptuous nose of sweet blackberry liqueur intermixed with espresso, licorice, tobacco, minerals, and toast. There is massive flavor concentration, multiple layers, full body, purity, and beautifully integrated acidity and tannin. This compelling Hermitage should evolve for three decades.

Wine Spectator, January 2001

A turbocharged red, packed with red and black fruit, citrus freshness and massive, sweet tannins. Medium-bodied, it turns a bit crisp on the finish. Best from 2003 through 2012. 830 cases made. –PM
