WA 98+ (2/2008): The biggest production cuvee, the 2005 Ermitage Le Pavillon (1,067 cases in this vintage) has a dense purple color, the classic acacia flower, graphite-based, smoky creme de cassis nose with a tremendous intensity and a full-bodied power and richness that is awesome. These are monumental wines, and when you think that this wine, much like most of its siblings, is made from yields of 12-18 hectoliters per hectare, the explanation for its concentration and extraordinary expression of terroir is obvious.
VM 93+ (2/2008): Inky ruby. Deep, brooding and initially inscrutable, with uncannily concentrated blackberry and cassis scents. Rich dark fruit preserve flavors seem almost solid, but there's wonderful vivacity too. Picks up supple tannins on the finish, which leaves a tattoo of black and blue fruits on the palate. Extremely primary right now. |

| JD 92 (5/2008): Showing a big, sweet nose of ripe raspberry, spice, licorice and garrigue, the 2005 Domaine du Grand Tinel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Alexis Establet seems slightly more upfront and easy drinking than the previous bottle. The palate is full bodied with beautiful sweet fruit, a smooth texture and a long finish. This showed the best right from the bottle and then on the second day. |
