Wine Critic Reviews
Surely a 100-point wine in nearly any other context, the 2015 Ermitage le Pavillon is a terrific wine. Full-bodied and intense, it offers tremendous notes of crushed stone, mocha and ripe plum given shape and texture by powerful yet ripe tannins. The finish is nearly endless, oozing with essence of granite and balanced by bright acids. Wow.

The exquisite 2015 Ermitage Le Pavillon walks onto the scene with pronounced tobacco, loamy earth, dried meat, graphite dust and dried red fruits. What makes this otherworldly Le Pavillon so compelling is the juxtaposition of hardcore intensity with an almost weightless, dancing presence on the palate, leaving a beguiling sense of freshness that compels another sip. Credit where credit is due, this is a breathtakingly beautiful expression of red Hermitage, unwinding with mind-boggling finesse and nuance on a long, resonant finish. The 2015 is now firmly within its prime drinking window.
