CHATEAU PAVIE 1998 |

Château Pavie 1998 St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)The first Perse vintage here. Smells very 'irony'. New wooden vats this year. Very dense textured. Almost minty. Very 'Californian'. Very low-yield wine plus stirring of the lees. In 2009, a real grand vin nose. Class. Many layered. A really plummy taste. Cloves. Utterly juicy. Excellent.
