Tasting notes

The 2011 Ermitage Le Pavillon comes from one of the top terroirs on Hermitage hill, the granite soils of the Les Bessards lieu-dit. Spectacularly perfumed, with raspberry, blackberry, liquorice, toasted spices and assorted floral nuances, this full-bodied effort has massive depth and richness, no hard edges and masses of finely polished tannin that emerge on and frame the finish.

About this wine

Even better, and topping out on my scale, the 2003 Ermitage le Pavillon comes all from the granite soils of the Les Bessards lieu-dit and was aged 100% in new barrels. Its inky ruby/black colour is followed by off the hook aromas and flavours of plum, creme de cassis, liquorice, crushed rocks, and violet/incense-like qualities. This gives way to a full-bodied, dense, seamless, and textured 2003 that has building tannin, awesome concentration, and a blockbuster finish.
