A brilliant French Bordeaux worth 95 points from Robert Parker from proprietors Chantal and Gerard Perse, Pavie's 2004 (7,050 cases). Beautifully textured as well as expansive, this may be the most developed and forward Pavie made by Perse since his acquisition of the property in 1998. Concentrated creme de cassis flavors intermixed with cherries, truffles, and subtle smokey wood notes. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2025+.
