Wijn: M. Chapoutier - Ermitage Le Pavillon 1992×Wis filters
Nice dark cherry colour. The nose is really deep and complex. Still a bit difficult but with clear potential; fine wood and kirsch, fairly powerful. The taste is perfectly balanced and very well rounded - not an edge on it. Very long. A beautiful wine, with still lots of potential, close to perfection.
Note afterwards: this is the third time I've had this wine and it keeps amazing me how such a beautiful wine could emerge from the fairly dismal 1992 vintage. Nice work.

It can never be easy to follow in Latour's footsteps, but this Le Pavillon 1992 was not afraid, and managed very well indeed, thank you. Great example of concentrated Hermitage, beautifully refined terroir. Beautiful spicy nose, black berries, still fairly young, but already delicious to drink. Amazing how Chapoutier managed such a wine in a poor year like 1992. I found this at a sale for $/€50 in 1997... A great buy.

Mooie expressieve neus, complex, rokerig, sigarenkistje zegt Theo, donker fruit, kreupelhout. In de mond fijne mond, niet heel breed, maar goede lengte, vlot en zacht, lekker.

Dieprode neus, fijn hout, lijkt mij niet zo exuberant als de andere keren dat ik dit proefde (en die kwamen ook allemaal uit mijn kelder, dus daar ligt het niet aan). De mond is wel erg mooi, met een erg perfecte balans en een goede lengte. Dit blijft absoluut verrassend voor dit toch moeilijke jaar, en een goede introductie voor de Pavillon stijl!
