Château Pavie Decesse
Saint Emilion Red Bordeaux Blend
2005 vintage. Showing well, still relatively young. A very extracted style that was common in those days, leading to a bit of dryness in the finish.

Mar 29th, 202290% Merlot the rest Cab Franc, aged in new oak for about 22 months. Deep Ruby, dark fruit aromas accompanied by cedar & spice. On the palate flavors of fresh ripe dark berries, plums, cacao and tobacco notes. Well balanced, lively acidity, perfect round tannins, long finish ending with fruit and mineral character. A joy to drink but cellar for at least 5 years, will last a couple of decades. A wonderful complex a Gem! Tasting Sample!

Nov 17th, 2016Rich cherry and plum pillowed by vanilla and smoky perfume. It's almost hedonistic on the nose but the structure is unmistakable on the palate! Juicy yet clearly defined.
