Rated 97/100 Points by Wine Advocate

A wine that just screams “Granite!” is the sensational 1996 Ermitage le Pavillon, which comes all from the les Bessards lieu-dit on the western side of Hermitage hill. As fine, seamless and layered as they come, this beauty offers classic notes of powdered rocks, cassis, graphite, burning embers and flowers. Full-bodied, concentrated and massive on the palate, you can almost feel the rocky soils this wine comes from on the palate, and it still, even at age 20, has loads of mouth-coasting, sweet tannin emerging on the finish. It’s a tiny step back from the mammoth 1995, yet is still an incredible wine that has another two decades of prime drinking, and will keep even longer.
 

Rated 97/100 Points by Jeb Dunnick

Drinking fabulously well, the 1996 Ermitage le Pavillon from Michel Chapoutier is a quintessential Hermitage that’s all from the Bessards lieu-dit on the western edge of the magical Hermitage Hill. This beauty offers tons of ripe, smoky dark fruits, bacon fat, burning embers, and graphite, with additional floral notes emerging with time in the glass. Possessing full-bodied richness, lots of fat and texture, sweet tannin, and an incredible granite-like minerality, I love it today, yet it’s going to keep for another two decades.

Rated 96/100 Points by Robert Parker

The 1996 Hermitage Le Pavillon needs at least a decade of cellaring. The wine possesses a saturated black/purple color, in addition to fabulously sweet aromas of blackberries, framboise, blueberries, violets, roasted herbs, and meats. Massively concentrated and full-bodied, with staggering levels of extract, this wine is super pure, with high tannin, good but not intrusive acidity, and a 45-second finish. This is one of the superstars of the vintage in France!
