2000 vintage. This is one of the better BDX 2000's I've had in the last decade. Opened not decanted. Tasted 1 hour and 4 hours after opening. Feminine body, masculine flavors. Plenty of stuffing and instructive markers laid down along the palate pathway. With apologies to Robert Zimmerman, you ain't going nowhere. 10.2.26. — a month ago
Deep and dark, a cool minerality. Bright fruit. Packed, is dense. Beautifully held. Great texture and structure. A stunner! — 6 days ago

2003 vintage. *Full disclosure* Not the biggest Pavie fan as I've consistently found it underwhelming for the commanding pricing and eternally in need of yet "another hour" in a decanter. Great fill and opened with a Durand but feel that the cork (in great shape) would have come out decently easy with a standard wine key. Given my issues with Pavie in the past, brought over two decanters so as to agitate the wine between them four times. Initial pass, good amount of sediment with the vast majority of it caked onto the sides of the bottle. Yay! Great boysenberry/raspberry nose noted during the first decant. Tasted after two hours. Medium body. Some earth, the aforementioned berries and hints of rich chocolate cake, including frosting, on the scene. Despite all the lavished attention and fuss, still suspect this would show better twelve hours later at breakfast with waffles and Count Chocula cereal. High-maintenance for the bean-counters. 9.26.26. — a month ago
Initially, this was a bit closed with fruit notes dominating, but after an hour long decant it opened up nicely. The nose has mostly cassis and herbal flavors, and on the palate, cassis, tobacco, bay leaf, dried sage, dark chocolate, and graphite notes come through nicely. Has good acidity, and tannins are well integrated. Super tasty and paired well with rosemary and thyme roasted rack of lamb with potatoes and eggplant. — 15 days ago

"Odedi"
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Pretty nose of red and black fruits with light wood, wild flowers, spices, coffee, herbs, earth and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, light forest floor and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy pomegranates.
This 9 year old red blend from Lebanon is still young and needs 10 years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years. Showing good potential to become a 93+ point wine.
Needed 3 hours to open up properly, fresh and easy drinking.
Good by itself or with food.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault. Aged in concrete vats and French oak barrels.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
