jamessuckling.com, February 2017

The purity and clarity to the nose of this wine are really exceptional with crushed berries, cherries and currants. Fruit and density are so impressive, yet this is so linear on the center palate, which gives it direction...

Wine Enthusiast, April 2015

(WE93-95 points) The tannins cut firmly into the fruit of this impressive wine. They give a dense, dry edge to the ripe berries and fresh acidity. The effect is a juicy wine that has a tough edge. This will take time to...

Wine Spectator, March 2017

The plum, boysenberry and raspberry fruit is very aromatic, carrying a glossy sheen as this glides along, picking up subtle anise, alder and tobacco notes slowly but steadily through the finish. A graphite edge is buried...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, March 2017

Already showing some maturity in the color, the wine is medium/full bodied, fresh, sweet, and refined, with sweet,, spicy, black raspberry, plum pure cherries, and crushed rocks in the finish. A few years of cellaring...

janeanson.com, February 2024

This remains pretty tight and compact, with blackberry, pomegranate, black cherry, cigar and cocoa bean. Tannins a touch angular, although plenty of life ahead, and enjoyable baked spice notes alongside overt oak...

The Wine Independent, March 2024

The 2014 Pavie Macquin is medium to deep garnet-brick in color. Delicate notes of tobacco leaf, clove oil, and mossy tree bark open out to a core of dried plums and cherries with a touch of garrigue. The medium-bodied...

Decanter, April 2015

85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet. Restrained and undemonstrative but less power and more refinement this year. Fresh and minerally with a persistent finish. A Pavie-Macquin with a feminine edge. Drinking Window 2022 - 2035 -...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2017

The 2014 Pavie-Macquin has a concentrated bouquet with layers of blackberry and raspberry coulis, infused with potpourri and incense. There is something almost forbidding about the aromatics at the moment. The palate is...
