Château Pavie, Ch. Pavie 2000, 100/100 Parker

97 / 100 Robert Parker
Deep garnet in color, this has an intensely scented cassis and warm red plum nose with hints of spice box, crispy duck skin, toast and cedar. Medium-full bodied and very tannic in the mouth, it has refreshing acidity cutting through the concentrated fruit and a long finish.

96 / 100 Wine Spectator
Voluputuous red. Glorious aromas of very ripe fruit, with layers of spices and chocolate. Full-bodied, with big yet very silky tannins and a long, long finish. Generous and seductive red. Lasts minutes on the palate. Best ever from here. Best after 2010. 7,500 cases made.

This provided quite a contrast to the Margaux, being so much heavier and darker purple, though without much bouquet. The palate was very sweet, verging on porty, with rather drying tannins on the finish - playing the concentration rather than finesse card
