The Pavie flagship may get all the love but this Macquin is extraordinary! This may have the most intriguing sultry nose of any wine I’ve opened this year—crushed violets, burnt cedar chips and granite with a dash of garrigue. My actual nose actually touched the wine and got wet, that’s how drawn I was to the bouquet. But this Bordeaux was a a great deal more than mere aromatics.....dark full viscosity waves mark the sides of the glass, the oak is there but it melds very harmoniously with the black cherry, blackberry compote, stewed fig and damp earth flavor flood. Very lush, undeniably elegant and so smooth and satisfying. I’m enjoying this tonight and I know this is my first post in a while but I’m still alive....I hope to catch up with my @Delectablewine Delectablewine wine fam and post all the wines in my photo queue soon. Cheers 🥂

Giant aromatics of Santa Rosa plums and cigar box. Bright red fruit with a dark chocolate mid palate and lingering rounded tannins. Tonight's undisputed #wotn

Very nice. Opening beautifully. Has ample time to age or enjoy now with 20-30 minutes of decanting. Very happy with the elegance of the red fruit and subtlety of the wine.

After @Bill Bender posted his review I needed to try it, 3 hour decant and actually the last glass at the 5 hour mark was even better, lost some of the nose though. See Bills post for all tasting 📝 notes,
