93 Wine Spectator
Extremely concentrated and tart, with sharply focused cherry, cassis and herb aromas and flavors, showing just enough roundness and complexity on the finish. Drinkable now but can be held until at least 1996. ?

Beginning to fade and show a more attenuated style than it did earlier, the 1986 Pavie has a garnet color with considerable amber at the edge. A nose of sweet stewed vegetables, dried Provencal herbs, sweet and sour cherries, and earth is followed by a medium-bodied wine, with the tannins begin to take over the wine’s personality. The wine was quite impressive young, but has not held up with cellaring. Anticipated maturity: Now-2006

Die Fassproben waren vielversprechend. Spätere Notizen um Längen schlechter und mittlerweile schreit kein Hahn mehr danach. 96: Reifendes Granat mit Orangerand. Gemüsige Nase, Humusnote, keine Frucht mehr. Leichter Körper, altes Fass, trockene Tannine. Ein mieser Wein (13/20 ausleeren)! 00: Eine Magnum bewies leider auch die Normalflaschentheorie, denn sie blieb unausgetrunken stehen: Eine fast kloakenhafte Nase. Im Gaumen nasse, graue Wolldecke. Was noch? 12/20 vorbei
