2016 Chateau Pavie St Emilion Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points, James Suckling 100 points, The Wine Independent 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2016 Chateau Pavie St Emilion Grand Cru from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. The 2016 Pavie a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color, it needs a little coaxing to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal a fragrant perfume of violets, chocolate-covered cherries, crushed blueberries and eucalyptus over a core of preserved plums, kirsch, black raspberries and crème de cassis plus hints of licorice and chargrilled meat. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, it has a solid foundation of firm, super ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness interknit with the black fruit preserves and minerally layers, finishing very long and very decadent. Superb!.
