Geoffrey Binder, JJ Buckley, May 2013

Brilliant orange/gold hue. With its lithe, clean bouquet, this is completely enthralling and seductive, showing notes of burnt caramel, ripe peach, baking spice and orange marmalade, along with an underlying nutty richness and wonderfully lifted white floral notes. This is deftly balanced, poising decadent richness against vivacious acidity, creating a long, unctuous finish loaded with layered flavors. At once exotic and sleek, notes of mango, pineapple marmalade, quince and papaya, are underscored by minerality and crisp hints of citrus, leading into a long, vanilla-laden finish. This imparts just a faint impression of sweetness, and leaves you wanting more. This is beautiful now, and will age gracefully for decades to come.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2011

There are two wines readers should keep an eye out for, even though they are very limited in availability (just under 300 cases of each). Both are potentially immortal offerings. The 2009 Ermitage Vin de Paille and 2010 Ermitage Vin de Paille are both made from the l'Ermite lieu-dit. Both possess deep gold colors as well as off-the-chart levels of residual sugar, acidity and concentration. These massive, unctuously textured, phenomenally great sweet dessert wines have incredible precision as well as intensity. Available only in half bottles, these connoisseur's collectibles are meant to be drunk over the next 50-100 years. Michel Chapoutier considers the 2009s, which are all in bottle, to be among the greatest wines he has ever produced, equaling his finest wines of 2006, 2003, 1999, 1990 and 1989 (his debut year).

This is special, delivering alluring milk chocolate, golden raisin, creamed fig and ginger notes that are seamlessly woven together. These flavors glide through a finish that's finely stitched with singed almond, cardamom and toasted pecan accents. Long and very refined. Drink now through 2032. 146 cases made. -JM
