2000 Chateau Pavie Saint Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe - 100 points 75cl / 13.5%

A bottle of 2000 Château Pavie Saint Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé from Bordeaux. Pavie is a 42 hectare estate, planted with 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, with an average production of 90000 bottles per year.

'ust beginning to come around and strut its enormous potential, this wine at age 15 has been evolving like a glacier. The wine has an inky, opaque, plum/purple color and a stunningly rich nose of mulberries, bramble berries, blackberries, licorice and incense as well as touches of toast and graphite. Fabulously concentrated and full-bodied, with a multidimensional mouthfeel, this profound Pavie is in mid-adolescence. It should evolve and continue to drink well for at least another 30-40 years. This is clearly the first compelling effort made by the Perse family.' 100/100 Robert Parker Jr - The Wine Advocate, 27 August 2015.
