The Premier Cru importer label brings back memories. This was a steal at $19.99 and only took a year to be delivered. Ah, those were the days. Pours a medium ruby with some orange at the rim, beginning to show some age. On the nose, crushed rocks, loam, raspberry, citrus peel, roses. Thin and pretty acidic, not showing much fruit, with a rather lean and angular raspberry-cranberry profile. Finish is clipped, with some tannin pucker. Nice nose, but doesn't deliver on the palate. The last of my '08 Pavelots, save one Dominode.

PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs -nearly semi-translucent med dark red minimal bricking -bright fresh red fruit -med+ acidity somewhat buffered by the moderately sappy tart red-fruited mid-palate with a tight slightly bitter finish framed with med tannins -more harmonious than a bottle 2 years ago though this still is on the upswing

Very attractive nose with spices that could cause one to confuse with Vosne (which I recall an experienced Burgundy taster doing with a Pavelot wine 20+ years ago). Palate is taut with red berry fruits and outstanding freshness. Still a young wine. Cellared since release.

Silky and smooth, this wine has moved on to a secondary stage. It is precise with red and dark berry fruit, light in weight, and still shows good freshness. Interesting to see the breadth of Narbantons in the lighter-weight register. A bit of tannin on the finish suggests that this wine will still age well for another 10+ years. Cellared since release.
