2004 Chateau Pavie St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - Wine and Spirits 96 points, The Wine Advocate 95 points, Wine Spectator 95 points, Falstaff Magazine 94 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 94 points, The Wine Independent 94 points. 2005 Chateau Pavie St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points, Wine Spectator 100 points, James Suckling 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck 100 points, The Wine Independent 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2005 Chateau Pavie St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. Gérard Perse believes this is the greatest Pavie he’s made to date, although certainly I would argue that list includes the 2000, as well as the 2009 and 2010, among his superstars. This wine, which I had both in the 2005 horizontal report in the Wine Advocate, and at a mini-vertical with Perse at the restaurant Maison Boulud in Montreal, looks to be a 75- to 100-year wine. Dense, opaque purple to the rim, with a gorgeously promising nose of blackberries, cassis, graphite and cedar wood just beginning to emerge, it tastes more like a three-year-old than wine that is already a decade old. This beauty is intense and full-bodied, with magnificent concentration, a majestic mouthfeel and a total seamless integration of tannin, wood, alcohol, etc. Beautifully rich, full and multidimensional, this is a tour de force in winemaking and certainly one of the top dozen or so 2005 Bordeaux. Forget it for another 3-5 years and drink it over the following 50-100 years. 2003 Chateau Pavie St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 99 points, Jeb Dunnuck 98 points, Wine Spectator 97 points, James Suckling 97 points.
