Ferraton Père & Fils : Le Méal 2018

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The most backward and perplexing of Ferraton's Hermitage bottlings is the 2018 Ermitage Le Méal, which offers up herbal, minty notes alongside raspberry fruit. This full-bodied wine comes across as overly vegetal at this stage of its evolution, although the richness on the palate and its smooth, silky feel provides a sense of balance and suggests that if this is just a phase, even better things may lie ahead.
