M. Chapoutier Le Pavillon Ermitage 2015

Tasting Notes

Surely a 100-point wine in nearly any other context, the 2015 Ermitage le Pavillon is a terrific wine. Full-bodied and intense, it offers tremendous notes of crushed stone, mocha and ripe plum given shape and texture by powerful yet ripe tannins. The finish is nearly endless, oozing with essence of granite and balanced by bright acids. Wow. Drink date: 2028-2050. (Joe Czerwinski,robertparker.com,Dec. 29, 2017)
