Ermitage Le Pavillon Rouge M Chapoutier

Note:

Crushed stone, mint, blackberries and cassis all appear upon the nose of the 2020 Ermitage le Pavillon. The great vintages of these wines soak up the oak, like this one has. Full-bodied, concentrated and massive in scale, it`s a mouthful of dark fruit flavors that gradually morph into something more savory on the long, silky-firm finish, adding notes of black olives and espresso. It`s really impressive, as it maintains a sense of elegance all along its path. Joe Czerwinski
