Wow. Pear and tropical notes with a hint of banana. Yellow apple and a lovely plush oily texture. Long and complex and delicious. — a day ago

Beautiful! 150 Day Dry Aged Ribeye from Brunson Meats! Doesn’t get much better! I’d stand this St Emilion against any Bordeaux I own! — 20 days ago

Intoxicating nose. Tres Bordeaux, complex, high bore, intriguing. On the palate, this is youthful, red fruited, tart and fresh.
Drinking lovely at the moment. Still has some future. — 9 days ago

2003 vintage. *Full disclosure* Not the biggest Pavie fan as I've consistently found it underwhelming for the commanding pricing and eternally in need of yet "another hour" in a decanter. Great fill and opened with a Durand but feel that the cork (in great shape) would have come out decently easy with a standard wine key. Given my issues with Pavie in the past, brought over two decanters so as to agitate the wine between them four times. Initial pass, good amount of sediment with the vast majority of it caked onto the sides of the bottle. Yay! Great boysenberry/raspberry nose noted during the first decant. Tasted after two hours. Medium body. Some earth, the aforementioned berries and hints of rich chocolate cake, including frosting, on the scene. Despite all the lavished attention and fuss, still suspect this would show better twelve hours later at breakfast with waffles and Count Chocula cereal. High-maintenance for the bean-counters. 9.26.26. — 2 months ago

2013 vintage. Medium body. Spicy oak. Some mineral qualities. Drinking nicely now as a unified effort with all the components pulling the rope in the same direction. 11.2.26. — 13 days ago

Pains me to say this bottle was on its way out. Very dry cork and low fill. Not sure about storage. Completely tertiary with dried florals and meaty bacon and salami tones. Silky palate, but just missing a step. Came back to the glass thinking “maybe now, maybe this time,” and it wasn’t to be. Birth year. — 19 days ago

Yes! Brilliant, even if early it’s long life. Such as a nice expression of chardonnay that was placed in our lives for food ,.,. Oysters for me this time. — 18 days ago

+1 hour decant(decent chunky sediment). A splendid brooding magenta color. On the nose: Seductive perfumed notes of dark fruit, cassis, vanilla, pencil shavings, smokey cedar, tobacco leaf. Taste: creamy, structured wine with cherry/plum, graphite, tar, earth, espresso, and a dry medium plus leather finish. YUM! — a month ago
