The 2009 Pavie is an exceptional Bordeaux Blend from the esteemed Saint Emilion region of Bordeaux, France. This red wine exudes elegance and power, showcasing the best of what this renowned appellation has to offer.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep garnet color that hints at its intensity and concentration. The aromas are captivating, with ripe dark fruits such as blackcurrants and blueberries taking center stage. These fruity notes are complemented by hints of spice cake, sandalwood, and cocoa powder, adding depth and complexity to the bouquet.

On the palate, the Pavie 2009 truly shines. It is full-bodied and velvety, with a rich and plush texture that coats the mouth. The tannins are finely grained and well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine. Flavors of jammy fruit, bitter chocolate, and dark tannins tantalize the taste buds, while a touch of graphite adds a mineral edge. The finish is incredibly long, leaving a lasting impression of opulence and finesse.

This wine has received high praise from critics, including a perfect score of 100 from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. Wine Spectator awarded it 97 points, while Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling both rated it in the mid to high 90s. These accolades are a testament to the exceptional quality of the 2009 Pavie.

While this wine can be enjoyed now with decanting, it has the potential to age gracefully for decades. Its structure and depth will continue to evolve and mellow over time, rewarding those who have the patience to cellar it. Whether you choose to savor it now or save it for a special occasion, the 2009 Pavie is a true gem that showcases the artistry of Bordeaux winemaking.
