The 1998 Ermitage l'Ermite is a complex red wine with a very deep garnet, almost black color. Its aromas and flavors are dominated by dark fruits like black currants and blackberries, complemented by spicy notes of pepper and smoke, along with earthy and mineral undertones like granite and licorice. The palate is described as powerful, full-bodied, and velvety with well-integrated tannins, a long finish, and balanced acidity, making it a robust and age-worthy Syrah.
