2007 Ermitage Le Pavillon, M. Chapoutier
"Made in a lighter style, but still a full-bodied, powerful wine, the dark purple-hued 2007 Ermitage Le Pavillon reveals aromas of creme de cassis, black truffles, cold steel, and crushed rocks. Dense and tannic, with good acidity, resounding richness, and a substantial finish, it is a top-notch effort that should evolve for three decades. Drink 2009-2039" Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Apr 2009
