Score 99/100 · Drink 2001-2049, Robert Parker, Feb 2001

The 1998 Ermitage Cuvee de l'Oree's explosive bouquet offers a liquid minerality, honeyed tropical fruits, peaches, and acacia flowers. Amazingly, the 100% new oak treatment has been totally absorbed. The wine is extremely full-bodied, fresh, and pure, with an immense palate presence as well as finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years, or forget about it for a decade. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-89000
