Really enjoy this. It feels like a great snapshot of what made 2015 such a good vintage. Lots of ripe black cherry and plum, with cedar, tobacco and a little earth underneath. The fruit is generous without feeling too plush, and there’s enough acidity and fine tannin to keep everything in balance.
Under $40 from Costco. A steal! — 2 months ago

2009 vintage. Opened with a Durand and decanted. Perfect fill and cork. Some sed but slightly less than expected. Throwing out color more purple than any royalty could ever dream of. Tasted after 15 minutes and 2.5 hours. Seductive, come hither nose and accompanying medium/medium-heavy curvaceous body. Took as much restraint as I could muster not to crush this instantly. Ridiculously excellent. Second impressions after 2.5 hours…wine had dropped the seductive pretensions and was downright dirty. Earth, mushrooms, chalk, tobacco all without the initial, devilish richness. Still didn’t suck. This was phenomenal and the Dickens Tale Of Two Cities “age of light, age of darkness.” Essential. 2.6.26. — 9 months 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
