I'd drink it over the next 7-10 years

If you you have the money

It's a little gruff compared to the sleeker incarnation of today's Le Pavillon but nonetheless is very Hermitage

dry and solidly intense with excellent mid-palate concentration before culminating in a penetrating and mineral-suffused finish that delivers very fine length

Echo Lynch Bages other_regions I'd drink it over theThe 2009 Echo de Lynch Bages has a fragrant bouquet with estuarine infused black fruit, crushed rose petals and hints of graphite. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, weighted evenly from start to finish with a composed cedar and mint infused finish. Excellent.
