Dark garnet. Forward dark cherry and just touch of earthy notes. Fully resolved palate with bright fresh fruit and earthy notes; great acidity to balance the fruit. So enjoyable now.

Having enjoyed two 750s of this wine, I have to say both bottles of the 2009 were fully resolved and absolutely beautiful!! Allen Meadows called out the fact that Pavelot makes great wines, and I can attest. This wine is beautiful and that's saying a lot for this terroir. Fully resolved and in my opinion this wine has peaked and should hold for the next 10+ years. A real beauty & for the money a real stunner!! One to buy annually. Great value that drinks well YOUNG.

Recognizable Burgundy aroma, surprisingly dark for a wine made nearly 14 years ago. While there certainly is complexity here, I’m surprised by the tension and slightly astringent finish, especially given the rich, round warmth of the 2009 vintage. An excellent match for roasted duck and carrots, but I will wait another year or two in hopes of more development and complexity.

After a few bottles seeming a little tired this bottle showed very well. Deepy plummy, curranty fruit but still a red fruit feel. There's nice vibrancy here today and the wine is juicy in the vintage style. The balance feels spot on today, still some structure to support, mineral and acid freshness and plenty of stuffing. The finish is long and satisfying. In a good zone for drinking now.
