94/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2015 Pavie has retained the upfront, bold, modern sheen on the nose with black cherry and boysenberry scents like before. This is hedonistic and a little Napa-like in style. The palate is very ripe, forward, succulent and fleshy, with plenty of glycerine and a smudge of alcohol toward the finish. This is not my style of Saint-Émilion, although I have a sneaking suspicion it will come into its own after another ten years.

Richly textured with luscious autumnal fruits, ripe and welcoming, and layered with fragrant spice. Love the depth of the black fruits, and this has grown into its excellence as the terroir begins to fully override the exuberance of its early years. Great stuff. 80% new oak.
