2000 Château Pavie Macquin St. Émilion Grand Cru Bordeaux France Wine Tasting Note

Youthful, but in a perfect spot, the nose expresses blackberries, smoke, charcoal, wild herbs and espresso with little effort. Full-bodied, lush, firm, and filled with salty black cherries, blackberries, chocolate, licorice, and plums, the minerality becomes more apparent as the finish lingers. Pop and pour, or decant for 1 hour, either way this is singing. Drink from 2024-2040.

Salty plums, oceanic nuances, licorice, truffle, mint, cocoa and cherries create the nose. Rich, lush, layers of vibrant, black and red fruits, salt, spice and herbs taste as good as they feel. Popped and poured, the wine hit all the right notes the moment it splashed into the glass. Drink from 2023-2035.

Showing just great, no decanting needed before getting to all the juicy, sweet, dark plums, blackberries, 80% cacao chocolate, and oceanic notes. There is a distinctive crushed rock and salty essence on the palate that adds loads of nuances to the lush textures. Drink from 2022-2030.

Definitely ready to go, all the flowers, licorice, crushed rock, cherries, plums, smoke, earth and tobacco make the right impression on the nose. On the palate, the wine is soft, round, slightly polished and loaded with sweet, deep red fruits with a touch of salty cocoa in the end note. Decanted about 45 minutes, this is a nice time to be drinking it.

Surprisingly reticent, an hour in the decanter would help. Concentrated, deep and fleshy, the fruit shows its minerality essence with ease. The berries are ripe, sweet and offer good flesh, but the wine seems to be stubbornly holding on to its youth.

With a nose that smells like you walked into a flower shop, with fresh dirt all over the floor, the smoky, caramel notes and sweet plums add on to the bouquet. Fresh, young, ripe and full bodied, there is good intensity and length in the finish. This is great now, and it's only going to get better.

Not fully mature, but in a very nice place with its nose of flowers, boysenberry,black cherry, bitter chocolate, licorice, truffle and a sprig of mint. Even better, the silky, soft, mineral driven wine finished with sweet and tart, stony, dark, red fruits. The wine improved in the glass after an hour of air. This is drinking quite well today. It's going to develop more complexities, but at close to 16 years of age, you should start drinking it. I am.

With its blackberry, dark cherry, fennel and mineral filled perfume was rich, round and full bodied. The wine needs at least another 5 years to develop and express all its character.

Thiis has morphed into a decadent, sultry wine. The complex perfume is intoxicating. Deep, full bodied and concentrated. Pure silk, velvet and lush, ripe fruit coat your palate. This Bordeaux wine is packed with polished, ripe dark berries, licorice, spice and minerals. Still young, over the last year, this has really started to come around.

Caramel, licorice, fresh herbs, jammy blackberry and plum liqueur with hints of mint. Rich, sexy, concentrated, but in a more classic style of sex appeal. Dense layers of ripe, spicy black fruit with hints of Persian Mullberries and cherry fill your palate. The long finish builds and continues for over forty seconds.
