A perfect wine, the 2009 Ermitage Le Pavillon boasts a black/purple colour as well as an extraordinary bouquet of acacia flowers, blackberries, blueberries, roasted meats, creme de cassis, truffles, graphite, powdered rock and new saddle leather. Extremely dense, noble and pure, this monumental Ermitage is built for 50-100 years of cellaring. - 100 points, Robert Parker Jnr
