The 2007 Les Pavots a Bordeaux varietal blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon 17% Cabernet Franc 10% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot is brilliant. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by gorgeously complex aromas of melted chocolate espresso roast blackberries and cassis. Full-bodied with a superb texture a subtle note of oak and fabulous concentration it is more reminiscent of a Right Bank Bordeaux than one expects with this much Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. A thirty-year wine its impeccable balance and the sweetness of its tannins make it accessible already.
