Tasted by Jeb Dunnuck in 2015: "The best bottle I've had, the 2003 Ermitage le Meal, still inky purple, fired on all cylinders on this occasion and was certainly up there with the 2009 and 2010. It tastes like a vintage dry port, but without any sensation of heat or alcohol. It has an incredible bouquet of blackcurrant, cracked pepper, violets and mint that literally spills out of the glass. Full-bodied, extremely concentrated, voluptuous and still fresh and pure, this is a heavenly example of that killer terroir that will continue to blow you away for another 2-3 decades."
