Couldn't resist opening up a bottle, first of 6 bought en primeur. It was my first en primeur programme that I bought into at the time, and this is the first bottle out of my cellar out of all my bdx that I have bought since at en primeur.

This is already drinking very well. Lots of cassis, sweet purple fruit and spices. Good acidity and freshness. — 9 days ago

Super earthy at first, but with air the fruit/earth balance is equilibrating. Loads of irony/clay notes in the nose, with dark plummy fruit. Tannins are integrating but still present. This presents more like a 20th Century right bank wine than what is usual now, with fruit and softness but no overripeness and a nice sense of restraint. — a month ago

This was a great vintage for Pavie that was going strong at 27 yrs showing mostly rich black fruits, mocha, graphite, sweet & savory spice, leather, menthol & tobacco. — 6 days ago

Potenza, controllo, profondità e . . . Lunghezza. Meravigliosa e infinita. Wow!
This wine is all in the aftertaste.
Great! — 11 days ago

Meaty and intense. Lush with violets, a deep purity and smoothly intense. Really great stuff. A little more powerful than the 82 alongside but a whisper less refined — 8 days ago

Mature Bordeaux. It is refined elegance. — 21 days ago

Naso Energico, elegante e delicato. Molto profumato.
In bocca è snello e tutta l’intensità che manca al medio palato sferza con insistenza calcarea nel lungo aftertaste.

A wine I’ve have several times. It’s good don’t let me dissuade you but it’s expand I don’t find it celestial. — 3 hours ago

97-98. Best wine tasted in the right bank.
Pure flowery and fruity aromas of incredible precision.
In the mouth it is simply perfect. Given the challenges of the vintage it is really incredible.
Technical yes, but not lacking personality.
A real great wine. — 10 days ago
