M. Chapoutier Le Pavillon Ermitage 2008

The most concentrated 2008 Ermitage is Le Pavillon (915 cases). Backward as well as elegant, it offers up scents of blueberries, blackberries, camphor, black truffles and earth. The wine is medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic and, atypically, capable of lasting 20-25+ years. Drink date: 2011-2036. Score – 93. (Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com, Feb. 27, 2011)
