- 1999 Château Pavie - France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru (9/27/2009)
opened decanted and drank over the next hour...wonderful wine, garnet color, some smoke, tannins integrating with the fruit, smooth easy to drink, secondary flavors emerging (94 pts.) - 2005 Bodega Numanthia Termes Toro Numanthia - Spain, Castilla y León, Toro (9/27/2009)
big dense wine, nose more muted than I recall, needs a lots of airand just keeps developing over the evening, tannis but not too much, lots of fruit blueberry and chocolate on the long finish (94 pts.)
1995 Château Pavie Macquin - France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru (9/27/2009)
nice red with bricking along edges, opens up nicely with reasonable tannins, dark fruit and plum, coffee,even better day two........this wine will last a number of years and continue to develop complexity (91 pts.)
