Skip the flavor descriptors: the important thing to note is that this wine was rich, juicy-fruity, even a little fat. Good concentration and depth, still with some tannic firmness to keep things in harness. Notwithstanding, I could see dropping this into a California pinot tasting (decent ones) without notice. I quite liked it, but I can't see this appealing to Burgundy snobs.

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.
