Saturday, December 14, 2013 - This Pavie was the first from a case purchased at auction last summer. I didn't expect it to be so ready to drink, but I just can't imagine it getting any better. Plenty of fruit, very gentle tannins, and a long, long finish. It was opened for about 1 hour and served at a Bourbon Steak in Washington DC. The whole group loved it, including the som. Hurrah for corkage!
By far the best St. Emilion I have ever enjoyed. I'm so happy to have 11 left to share over the next decade.
