Chapoutier Ermitage Le Pavillon 1996 Northern Rhone four wine stained labels "The 1996 Hermitage Le Pavillon needs at least a decade of cellaring. The wine possesses a saturated black/purple color, in addition to fabulously sweet aromas of blackberries, framboise, blueberries, violets, roasted herbs, and meats. Massively concentrated and full-bodied, with staggering levels of extract, this wine is super pure, with high tannin, good but not intrusive acidity, and a 45-second finish. This is one of the superstars of the vintage in France!" R. Parker, 96 pts. 02/99 12 bottles (in two six-bottle owcs, one with damaged lid)
