1999 LE PAVILLON FROM CHAPOUTIER
Offered in original wooden case
Ermitage, Le Pavillon--Vintage 1999
Rhône. French-bottled: Chapoutier
Tasting note: The prodigious 1999 Ermitage Le Pavillon boasts crème de cassis aromatics intermixed with unmistakable aromas of ink. It is full-bodied and fabulously concentrated as well as powerful, with a finish that lasts for fifty seconds. This saturated black/purple-colored 1999 exhibits remarkable symmetry, purity, and overall massive size all juxtaposed with a sense of elegance and restraint. It is a monumental achievement, but ultimately is less successful than the great 1998 or 2000. 96 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #140, August 2002.
