2008 Pavie-Macquin Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux Blend: 750ml
about this wine:
"... blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon...Michel Rolland has increased the percentage of new oak casks used in the maturation process and the wine is now richer, more rounded and more powerful than before. Pavie Macquin remains underpriced compared to its more illustrious neighbours.

Consultants Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt have produced a beautiful St.-Emilion that tastes like the quintessence of crushed rocks intermixed with blueberry, blackberry, black raspberry, licorice, camphor and truffle notes. This full-bodied effort should drink well in 4-5 years, and last for two decades or more. It achieved 14.5% natural alcohol. 94+ -Robert Parker

An impressive wine, beautifully structured, never too powerful, very elegant. If it feels a little austere at this stage, that is because the structure is dominating the fruit. Give it 5-6 years and the full splendor will be revealed.

Quite flattering, with ripe, almost showy fig, boysenberry and blackberry fruit layered with velvety tannins and backed by notes of anise and violet, which linger gently on the suave finish. Rather bright and defined for the vintage. A classy wine. Drink now through 2015.-J.M.
