M. CHAPOUTIER ERMITAGE LE PAVILLON 2006
Rhône.
3 x scraped labels
Showing more minerality than the le Meal, yet more plushness and sexiness than the l’Ermite, the 2006 Ermitage le Pavillon is a tour de force that gives up sensational notes of crushed rocks, blackberries, currants, smoked meats and licorice. It shows a touch of iron and bloodiness with time in the glass, is full-bodied, seamless and incredibly layered on the palate. There’s no shortage of tannin either and this beauty needs 4-5 years of cellaring to hit full maturity, and will keep for another 2-3 decades. Only 955 cases made. February 2017 Drink: 2018-2048. Only 1177 cases made. WA 98
