Chateau Pavie Macquin
From Saint-Emilion
| Vintage: | 2009 |

| Description: | "Hyperlush, with very creamy fig, blackberry and boysenberry flavors that stay well-defined, as charred apple wood, black tea and singed vanilla bean notes stride in behind. The long, authoritative finish drips with fruit and toasted spice, offering grip for balance. Very impressive. Best from 2014 through 2030." (ws). "The 2009 is enormous in size, yet broodingly backward, I was somewhat surprised by the astringency of the tannins in this blend of 85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a big wine (14.5% alcohol), black purple in color, with huge concentration of fruit and beautiful purity, but a good decade of cellaring is required. From a top terroir, this wine is built for the long haul, and I am sure it will be even better than its relatively conservative rating at this point. Anticipated maturity: 2022-2035." (wa). "Medium-deep purple-tinged red. Ripe, fruity nose offers aromas of cherry pie, candied violet and dried herbs, along with a hint of alcoholic warmth. Enters the mouth fresh and lively, with firm acids nicely framing the pure if youthfully unevolved flavors of red berries and aromatic herbs. Finishes smooth, rich and long, with a saline suggestion of pine needles and very fine tannins. This very rich and attractive wine should offer considerable early appeal but should really be laid down." (vm). "Gorgeous aromas of crushed blackberries and blueberries, with vanilla bean. Full-bodied, with a solid core of very ripe fruit, toasted oak, milk chocolate and a long finish. Layered and intense. Made from organically grown grapes. Try in 2018." (js). "Very fruity aromas hint that this is a bright wine, its tannins shaded by the red and black berry flavors. The structure is integrated, showing ripe as well as fresh fruit with final flavors of chocolate. -r.v. (2/1/2012)" (we). "2009 Pavie Macquin from clay and lime stone soils is a blend of 85% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. The moment the wine hits your nose, scents of crushed stone, sweet blackberries, fresh black plums, licorice and chocolate are all over the place. Full bodied and intense, with silk and satin textures, this exciting wine ends with a supple, long, sweet black cherry filled finish." (jl) |
