Chateau Pavie Macquin Premier Grand Cru Classe
2009
Chateau Pavie Macquin '09
Saint Emilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
"The 2009 is enormous in size, yet broodingly backward, I was somewhat surprised by the astringency of the tannins in this blend of 85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a big wine (14.5% alcohol), black purple in color, with huge concentration of fruit and beautiful purity, but a good decade of cellaring is required. From a top terroir, this wine is built for the long haul, and I am sure it will be even better than its relatively conservative rating at this point. Anticipated maturity: 2022-2035."
Score: 92+ Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (199), March 2012
