Decanted 30 minutes, perfectly mature Pavie, now at its peak ( had this 5 years ago) and it’s evolved further, long finish, dark fruit with black cherry, blackberries and currant, some graphite, tobacco, herbal aromas and hint of spices. 84% Merlot. Tannins are now soft, fruit a bit muted but still very much prevalent. Well balanced with a long finish. Overall a classic right bank Bordeaux.
