M Chapoutier, Ermitage Le Pavillon 2008

"It offers up scents of blueberries, blackberries, camphor, black truffles and earth. The wine is medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic ." - Wine Advocate

"A powerful, deeply scented bouquet displays cherry, blueberry and mulberry scents, along with notes of cola and licorice pastille. Lush, palate-staining dark fruit and violet flavors pick up smoke and black pepper notes with air. A sweet vanilla note sneaks in on the long, spicy, penetrating finish. This appears to be the most cellar-worthy of this year's set of single-site wines." - Vinous
