1999 Ermitage La Pavillon, Domaine M. Chapoutier

A deep ruby coloured dry red wine with quite intense aromas of red cherry, pepper spice, iron ore, touch of dried herbs and blood. Medium acidity and alcohol, quite full bodied with quite high tannin, a bit coarse though. On palate, it gives over medium intensity flavours of red cherry, dates, dried herbs, mineral, earth and steel. Longer than medium length with red berry finish. (92)

 隆河的酒香料味真的很出色。這酒的香料味很充足，酒力算強，亦有一定複雜情度，餘韻亦算長，是一枝整體都很不錯的酒.。酒的口感較重，加上重重的單寧，未必人人接受到。

2002 Ermitage L'Ermite, M. Chapoutier

Medium lemon colour with quite high intensity aromas of lemon, white flower, honey, peach and touch of stewed pear and mineral. It is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and quite full bodied. On palate it gives medium intensity lemon candy, peach, white flower and touch of honey almond. Longer than medium length with honey lemon finish. (92) Good complexity but a bit lack of acid.

隆河的白酒有像較醇厚的感覺，但同時又很易欠缺鮮活性，因為酒的酸度好易不足。這酒的酸度勉強可以，複雜性不錯，酒香的強度不俗，只是在口中不能維持，餘韻亦長，幾好飲。

2002 Ermitage De L'Oree, M. Chapoutier

Medium lemon in colour. On nose it gives barely over medium intensity aromas of lemon, peach, white flower, butter, and touch of tropical fruit, honey, coconut and mineral. Dry with barely medium acidity, medium alcohol and quite full bodied, a bit oily mouthfeel. The flavours contain lemon, vanilla, coconut, honey and oak. Longer than medium length with lemon vanilla finish. (89)

這酒區的酒常常缺乏酸度，但這酒算不錯了。酒香複雜性好，強度亦合格。酒體一貫的豐厚，油油的。酒味及餘韻也不錯，喜愛口感飽滿的人會喜歡此酒的。
