Had another bottle of the 98 Pavie this weekend. It is firing on all cylinders. Soft tannins, great complexity, wonderful bouquet. It's in a perfect drinking spot right now.

I am not sure where people get the 94.5 rating. This really is closer to 90 points, nowhere near at 95 points. It's not impressive. Not much complexity, very little fruit. Tannins are approachable now. It's a pleasant wine, but it's just okay. Nowhere near 94.5 points, however.

This wine is over-rated. I dont' understand the ratings. I just opened my third bottle of this, and it's just okay. I think the others are right who had recently reviewed: it's past its prime.
