Ermitage, Le Pavillon--Vintage 1990 Rhne. Domaine-bottled: Chapoutier Tasting note: Black coloured, with an extraordinary perfume of liquorice, sweet blackcurrants, smoke and minerals, it coats the palate with layer upon layer of decadently rich, superconcentrated, nearly viscous Syrah flavours. There is amazing glycerin, a chewy, unctuous texture, and phenomenal length. The tannins, which are considerable when analyzed, are virtually obscured by the massive quantities of fruit. 100 Points.
