Punching miles above its weight, there’s a certain gravitas to this Pavelot that’s both cerebral and emotive. Viscosity and grip mark a precise tannic frame with delicate notes of black tea, black cherry and pomegranate. I think I paid <C$50 for this. Has years to go.

Practically perfect in every way. An almost Gevery-like minerality. RIP JJH 💔 so glad we got to drink this together.

Absolutely perfect Pinot noir profile. Ripe and full of flavor. Not over blown like some '09s.

Beautiful Burgundy. It veritably sings. Earthy notes, dark cherries, some tobacco. Really nice.

Sweet ripe crushed berry fruit, earth, mineral, underbrush with a tannic structure, opened up with an hour decant.
