Here the wood and menthol influences are more prominent though not invasive on the ripe aromas of poached plum black cherry and a touch of the sauvage. There is again very good richness and vibrancy to the caressing and palate soaking flavors that exhibit excellent length on the slightly warm finale. This also needs to add better depth but more should eventually develop if given time. (Drink starting 2030)
The 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Gravins 1er Cru has a perfumed floral bouquet with black cherries boysenberry and violet aromas a little heady but managing to stay focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a granular texture perhaps the spiciest of Pavelot?s cuvées with a gentle grip on the finish. Give this 2-3 years in bottle. (Drink between 2025-2036)
