1999 Chapoutier Ermitage le Pavillon

Tasting Note:

The prodigious 1999 Ermitage Le Pavillon boasts creme 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. Source: Wine Advocate
