On the nose, this wine reveals a captivating combination of smoked meats, fragrant earth, sautéed herbs, and a core of warm red and black plums, cherry compote, and blackberry pie. There is also a delicate hint of dried lavender, adding a touch of floral complexity. These aromas create a sensory experience that is both alluring and inviting.

The palate of the 2015 Aromes de Pavie is medium to full-bodied, showcasing very fine and ripe tannins that are wonderfully firm. The wine's structure is supported by a seamless backbone of freshness, which enhances the generous fruit flavors. Black plum and blackberry take center stage, with great intensity and super-ripe qualities. The wine also offers a touch of spiciness, adding depth and complexity to the overall profile.

This wine has been highly praised by wine experts. Wine Enthusiast awarded it an impressive score of 93 points, describing it as spicy and ripe with a strong structure of brooding tannins. James Suckling also commended its dried-fruit and wet-earth character, giving it a score of 95 points.

The 2015 Aromes de Pavie is a wine that is built to age gracefully. It is recommended to cellar this wine for six to eight years to allow it to fully develop and relax.

This wine is a true gem from Bordeaux, showcasing the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of the Aromes de Pavie winery.
