Pavillon Rouge Vintage:2005 As with most of the

As with most of the single-vineyard wines from the vintage

600 were produced

My observation is that this 2011 vintage feels more overtly ripe

This is over 14% alcohol with no chaptalization

It was bottled in April 2016

Pavillon Rouge Vintage:2005 As with most of theThe 2012 Pavillon Rouge is soft, supple and open knit, with plenty of dark red cherry, cherry pit, tobacco and brambly flavors. Initially a bit brooding, the 2012 becomes more finessed with time in the glass. Sweet floral and minty notes add freshness on the finish. The tannins are silky and polished throughout. Drink this supple, forward Pavillon Rouge over the next decade or so. Antonio Galloni
