Pavillon Rouge Vintage:2005 pure and intensely floral nose

pure and intensely floral nose that is elegant

and the wine was alternatively in barrique and stainless steel

This is only a couple of steps behind the 2010 albeit cut from a different clothe

it should still evolve for just as long

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

Pavillon Rouge Vintage:2005 pure and intensely floral noseThe 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
