CHÂTEAU PAVIE SAINT-ÉMILION 1ER GRAND CRU CLASSÉ A 2010

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Pavie delivers tantalizing suggestions of candied violets, star anise and tapenade over a core of prunes, blueberry compote, Morello cherries and fruitcake with touches of underbrush and bouquet garni. Full-bodied, rich and exotically opulent, the palate has a rock-solid texture of velvety tannins and bold freshness supporting the generous palate of black and blue berry preserves, finishing long and fragrant. Drink date: 2020-2060. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW,robertparker.com,March, 5, 2020)
