An amazing achievement in this vintage although not at the level of the prodigious 2003 2001 or 2000 the 2002 Pavie Decesse is a dense ruby/purple-colored full-bodied wine revealing notes of dried herbs fruitcake licorice black currants and cherries. Textured fleshy and concentrated this is one of the stars of the Right Bank in this challenging vintage. Its low acidity and plush style suggest enjoying it now and over the next 15+ years.</P>
