Impressive aromas of ripe fruit with hints of spices. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a solid core of fruit and ripe tannins. Very impressive indeed. On the same level as 2000. Best after 2007. ?JS

03: Strenges Bouquet mit pfeffriger Johannisbeerennote; fast dropsig. Im Gaumen ebenfalls eine dominant rotbeerige Frucht und auch hier wirkt die Säure pfeffrig und fast noch etwas zu spitz im komprimierten Extrakt auftretend, fehlt im Verhältnis zur tollen Konzentration ein bisschen an Fett, wird bis zu seiner ersten Flaschenreife recht lange brauchen. 06: Aufhellendes Rubin, leuchtend. Frisches Beerenbouquet, rote Grütze, Wildkirschen, darunter eine fein konfitürige Süsse zeigend, scheint aber momentan etwas verschlossen zu sein. Mittlerer Gaumen, frische Fruchtnoten, rote Pflaumenschalen, saftig, elegantes, eher schlank wirkendes Finale, gastronomischer, sehr delikater Genuss. vorbei

The 2002 exhibits a dark ruby color along with a sweet perfume of red and black currants, licorice, and dried herbs, medium body as well as good fruit, but a shorter finish and harder tannin than I remember from barrel. Like many 2002s, it is restrained, closed, and reluctant to reveal its full charms. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016.
Producer
Château Pavie Macquin
Planted amongst three Premiers Grands Crus Classés, Château Pavie-Macquin consists of a single piece of land on the noteworthy limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion. The 15-hectare vineyard is planted to a large portion of Merlot, with smaller parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. By 1994, the Right Bank visionary, Nicholas Thienpoint took control of the estate. Today, the winery produces quality-conscious wines that are elegant, tightly wound and structured, noted by their unique mineralistic characteristics. Famed oenologist, Stéphane Derenoncourt joined the team in 1990, and has worked as consulting vintner at the château ever since. Together, Nicholas and Stéphane developed a high-quality viticulture procedure which has elevated the château to the prestigious rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé wine. With minimal handling in the cellar, the Grand Vin, Pavie-Macquin is an opulent structured red with well-integrated notes of oak and spiced fruits.
