Château Pavie 2003 (6 BT)

Château Pavie 2003  

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A) 

Levels into the neck, 2 slightly wrinkled labels, 1 slightly marked label 

Figs and melons on the nose. Gloriously aromatic taste.  Stunning in its exotic individuality.  Finishes fresh, after the "ripe skins" taste.  In 2009, a really classic nose, full of spicy plums.  Lots of chocolate on the palate.  One senses some toasty alcohol, but vanilla and blueberries are there in force.  In 2010, very exotic, spicy, aromatic nose - cloves, jam and chocolate. Rich, almost 'tawny' taste, with huge blackberry, brambly fruit.  Gummy and leathery, with a tarry finish - St.Emilion's Barolo! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
