Alvaro Palacios L'Ermita

Vintage: 2011
Description: "The 2011 LErmita suffers a bit in comparison with the nearly perfect 2010. Yields in 2011 were even lower than in 2010 (and both were relatively large vintages, as there will be no more than 500 bottles of 2012 or 2013), 3.64 hectoliters per hectare. It has a riper nose than the 2010 (arent comparisons awful?) with earthy notes of soil (beetroot?), peat, violets, ripe peach and juicy fruit flavors. Its elegant yet powerful, ripe and with grainy tannins. It feels very organic, soil-driven, full and ripe. Today I prefer the palate to the nose. In case youre interested in a second opinion, Alvaro Palacios himself was telling me how he prefers LErmita 2011 over 2010, which he finds fuller. Today we disagree, but maybe in a few years our opinions might converge. Well see. Drink 2015-2025." - Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com (Feb 26, 2014)
