Year in and year out, one of the three greatest Hermitages made is Chapoutier's Le Pavillon. The 2001 Ermitage Le Pavillon exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color as well as a big, sweet nose of camphor, ink, creme de cassis, and hints of licorice as well as smoke... Unquestionably great and intense... Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030... Robert Parker

Bacon, leather, black pepper jerky. Figs, dried cherry blossom. A great wine, but a little over the hill.

Notes from a long time ago. Compact and tons of structure w/ decades of maturing to do. Will be outstanding but only very good right now.

Very pretty blackberry nose with smoke and a hint of garrigue. Best nose so far and so pretty. Very polished and modern in style. Plenty of oak and fruit. Loved by the crowd. Me, it's good especially on the nose, but it's so young. Needs time to develop.
