Château Pavie Saint-Èmilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
This is a beautiful, polished 2005 whose powerful and fine structure produces a full and round impressionThe 2005 exhibits clean aromas which highlight good intensity and well-defined fruitiness. Black currants, blueberries and assorted black fruit are present, together with flattering chocolate and spicy notes derived from careful aging in barrel. The first impression on the palate is faultless, and the quality of the vintage becomes evident as its taste evolves. The wine shows a full body, both tight and supple at once. Everything comes together to create an exemplary balance. The tannins are fine-grained, with a structure which ensures a long and brilliant future. The wine's class and nobility express the care taken during vinification to respect the vintage's potential. The finish is mouth-watering and long, worthy of a great Saint-Emilion.

Roasted plums, coffee grinds, burnt leather, ratatouille, herbs, power, structure! So much longer to go!

Very deep, dark and intense. Thick deep fruit. Tannins pretty present. Densely packed and powerful. Not a charmer but packs a punch.

Modern style soft Merlot. Easy drinking, but lacking two essential elements: complexity and character

If only my husband had a birthday everyday. Complex, layered, bold. Tasting blind we were sure it was a graves, but this was strong and delicate. Loads of flavor and spice and texture. Love.

Great tertiary flavors with balsamic and tobacco/leather. Definitely drank it at the right time. Started to fall off about 90 min into the meal. Quintessential example of right bank. 12/25/23
