Product description
100 Points - James Suckling Spectacular aromas of crushed berries, such as blueberries and raspberries. Fresh flowers with hints of sandalwood. Exotic. Saturated palate of so much fruit, yet remains agile and energetic. Great length and texture. Fills your mouth. This needs time, but a classic. Twin brother of the perfect 2015.
100 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2016 Pavie is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in colour, it needs a little coaxing to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal a fragrant perfume of violets, chocolate-covered cherries, crushed blueberries and eucalyptus over a core of preserved plums, kirsch, black raspberries and crème de cassis plus hints of liquorice and chargrilled meat. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, it has a solid foundation of firm, super ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness interknit with the black fruit preserves and minerally layers, finishing very long and very decadent. Superb!
99 Points - Jeb Dunnuck Turning the dial up considerably, the 2016 Château Pavie leaps out of the glass with a thrilling bouquet of crème de cassis, toasty oak, graphite, white truffle, crayons, and flowers. This full-bodied Pavie is made in a more elegant, seamless style compared to prior great vintages, yet it still has a brilliant depth of fruit and concentration, ripe, present tannins, a seamless texture, and an awesome finish.
