2023 vintage. Another floral 2023. A good wine indeed, but it lacks the depth and especially the length of the 2022, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Decent value at 20 euro. — 24 days ago
Wow! Held up quite nicely. Yum! — a month ago
Really enjoy this. It feels like a great snapshot of what made 2015 such a good vintage. Lots of ripe black cherry and plum, with cedar, tobacco and a little earth underneath. The fruit is generous without feeling too plush, and there’s enough acidity and fine tannin to keep everything in balance.
Under $40 from Costco. A steal! — a month ago

Medium dark rubi, robe of topsoil, cedar wood, liquorice, dark fruit. Very graceful and elegant in the mouth, mature tannins, asian spices, and a very long aftertaste. Its so unfortunate Magdelaine is no longer. Great wine. — 16 days ago
Clear, deep ruby to purple in color; on the nose, it is clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of cassis, dried herbs, and a hint of milk chocolate; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, medium alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary aromas. — 12 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
We had the 2010 vintage on 9/19-20/26. A terrific wine with tastes of blackberry, plum, mocha and lilac. A wonderful bouquet of cedar, eucalyptus and tobacco. Terrific wine from. A great Vintage — a month ago
2016 vintage. A delicious Saint-Emilion from the Vauthier family, and slightly ( about at least 40 times) less expensive than Ausone 2016. Don't expect anything flashy, this is an understated gentleman who feels no need to be the loudest in the room, but offers you a real captivating conversation. 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. This is a steal at 26 euro. Abv. 13,5%. — 2 months ago
Needs a long decant. Perhaps 2 hours. Deep brooding Merlot blend. Dark chocolate, blackberry, dark cherry. Should be consumed with steak or lamb. I had it with aged cheddar which worked but was not ideal. Ready to drink now but likely better in a few years. — 3 months ago

Beautiful! 150 Day Dry Aged Ribeye from Brunson Meats! Doesn’t get much better! I’d stand this St Emilion against any Bordeaux I own! — 4 days ago
