Heiner Lobenberg über:
Ermitage L’Ermite 2020

100
/100

Lobenberg: Ein Wein der 'selection parcelaire', der vielleicht extremsten Form der in der Rhone biodynamisch betriebenen Weinberge. Dunkles Rot mit leicht aufhellendem Rand. Immens kompakt im Nasenbild: Anis, Kräuter, Bitterschokolade, eingekochte, rote Früchte und ein Hauch Moschus. Mit guter Viskosität, aber doch sehr schlank und burgundisch wirkend. Dann lässt er seine Muskeln immer mehr spielen. Unglaublich lang, nach mehreren Minuten kommen zur tiefen Mineralik noch frische Zwetschgen hinzu. Trotz dieser hervorragenden Vorstellung ist ganz deutlich, dass sich hier noch vieles nicht zu erkennen gibt. Von seiner inneren Zusammensetzung muss man ihn aber in der Liga der absoluten Traumweine verorten. 100/100

Suckling über: Ermitage L’Ermite

-- Suckling: If you ever wondered why Hermitage had such a special reputation then you need to taste this towering masterpiece of this appellation. Spectacular mountain freshness as well as enormous concentration and underplayed tannic power. The spicy complexity of this wine needs some time to unfold, but that is the best invested time I can imagine. Fabulous mineral freshness at the finish that you don’t ever want to let go of. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. 100/100

Parker über: Ermitage L’Ermite

-- Parker: Compelling scents of roasted meat, espresso and blueberries roar from the glass, joined by a hint of vanilla on the nose of the 2020 Ermitage l'Ermite. A huge behemoth of a wine in the mouth, it's nevertheless an elegant beast that should easily be tamed by a few years in the cellar. Fans of all-out power might prefer this to the Le Pavillon in 2020, but for me, it's a just a neck behind, nipped at the wire.

Decanter über: Ermitage L’Ermite

-- Decanter: Fresh, flinty aroma with blackcurrant underneath - an enlivening nose. Great harmony, incisive freshness and remarkable drive, the fruit is fresh, pure and concentrated. Totally seamless on the palate, with incredible textural finesse and length. A profound Hermitage in the making, perhaps not one of great weight and authority, but one of incredible tension, freshness and precision. If 2019 was Thor, 2020 is Loki. Like all of the 2020 reds, its fruitiness and approachable structure will make many want to drink this young. You can, but this has serious ageing potential. 98/100

Wine Spectator über: Ermitage L’Ermite

-- Wine Spectator: This densely packed red has it all, from a brooding base of smoked blackberry, ganache, plum puree and fig paste flavors to textural intrigue and a long finish. Shows muscular tannins that are nicely burnished to give this a substantial yet not too grippy frame, while notes of dark chocolate, black licorice and generous grilled [i]garrigue[n] cruise alongside a steely ballast of iron. Delivers hints of dried flowers and savory orange peel acidity that perk up the concentrated core. Best from 2025 through 2045. From France.—K.B. 98/100

Galloni über: Ermitage L’Ermite

-- Galloni: Glass-staining violet color. Intensely perfumed ripe black and blue fruits, exotic spices, potpourri, olive and incense aromas are sharpened by a smoky mineral flourish. Juicy and expansive in the mouth, displaying alluringly sweet blueberry, cherry preserve, fruitcake and mocha flavors, along with hints of licorice and candied flowers. The floral and spice notes reverberate on a fabulously long, penetrating finish that features mounting tannins and an insistent mineral note. For me, this looks to be the best (ever so slightly!) of a truly stellar group of single-site Hermitages here in this vintage. The 2011 version of this wine is showing exceptionally well right now, with eerily Burgundy-esque finesse and intense blue fruit, floral, spice and mineral character. I wish that I had some, or even just one! 97-99/100
