RHONE
Lying in Corsham, Wiltshire (Octavian)
Lots marked ++ are offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Ermitage Le Pavillon--Vintage 1993
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Chapoutier
In original wooden case
Tasting note: The 1993 Le Pavillon is the Hermitage of the Vintage. More austere than when I tasted it prior to bottling, it is one of the few 1993s with a sweet inner core of fruit, as well as a dense ruby/purple colour, outstanding concentration and extract, and huge tannin in the finish. It is a harder style of Le Pavillon than the 1992, but it should turn out to be a 40- to 50-year wine. Last tasted 6/96. Robert Parker, Rhone Book #B3 Jan 1997
