CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2016 Pavie has an intense bouquet with slightly smudged black plum and boysenberry fruit, just missing the mineralite and terroir expression of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins typical of Pavie, fine acidity, heady and powerful, with a dab of liquorice on the finish. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10 Year On tasting in London.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2016 Pavie a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color, 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 creme de cassis plus hints of licorice 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!

Tasted blind. Very deep purplish crimson; looks youthful. Intense, treacly nose. Then not the freshest finish. Pinched on the end - overdone. (JR)
