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.

This is really exceptional with such freshness, firmness and focus. Full body, incredibly tight tannins and a lengthy finish. Such power and elegance at the same time. The beginning of a new era of Pavie.

A brick house, still rather tight, with loads of apple wood and juniper flavors holding the core of red currant, blackberry and bitter plum fruit in check. Offers ample grip through the finish, with a mouthwatering chalk, graphite and tobacco spine. A huge wine that hasn't budged and probably won't for some time.—Non-blind Pavie vertical (March 2017). Best from 2025 through 2050. 7,083 cases made. –JM

70 % Merlot, 20 % Cabernet Franc, 10 % Cabernet Sauvignon. 28 hl/ha. 14.5 % Volumen. Sattes, dunkles Purpur mit rubinem und lila Schimmer. Das Bouquet wirkt floral, geradlinig mit vielen Schichten, aber auch noch recht reserviert, Buchentöne, Waldhimbeeren und rote Kirschen und das alles mit einem delikaten Schuss Kirsch und Mocca gemischt. Dicht im Gaumen, wohl geformt mit arrondierten Gerbstoffen, zeigt hier wieder Frucht in allen Facetten, Malz, Schoko und Kandisnuancen im langen, erhabenen Finale. Die Tannine verlangen nach mindestens 15 Jahren Flaschenreife. warten (2020 - 2050)

A towering, statuesque wine, the 2010 Pavie-Macquin is distinguished by its vertical explosiveness and soaring intensity. Red cherry jam, plums and dried flowers are some of the many aromas and flavors that open up as the 2010 gains breadth over time. Naturally, the 2010 is still a very young wine, but it is incredibly impressive just the same, not to mention one of the highlights of the morning.
