2015 Pavelot Savigny Les Beaune 1er La Dominode

(two-thirds of the vines are between 70 and 80 years of age and the remaining vines are approximately 20+ years old). An extremely ripe nose stops short of being jammy though there is a whiff of prune. Otherwise there is excellent energy to the fresh, sleek and tautly muscular flavors that are dense, powerful and very serious plus they deliver superb depth and length on the slightly warm finish. This is a wine that has impressive underlying material but the nose concerns me and thus it’s hard to project how this will fare with age as it risks becoming heavy. That said, there are enough positive attributes present that my predicted range offers the benefit of the doubt. Burghound (89-92)/2027+
