Less convincing than on a a prior showing. I could not pick up the truffles and mushroom on the nose. Bottle variation may be and also tasting alongside because a good left banker in the form of Sociando-Mallet Cuvee Jean Gautreau 2000 did not help. For me left bank always eclipses right bank at a similar quality level with the more regal structure. So not the fairest of assessment but my tasting companions enjoyed it very much and observed this is at beginning of plateau with lots of life left.

Sweet, balanced, rich, and surprisingly fresh and youthful.
Not particularly complex but who cares, it’s beautiful!

Dark red to rim. Red fruits, forest floor, mocha on the nose. Full body, lots of ripe fruit, good balance, tannins have mellowed, no significant complexity, moderate-long finish. Not over-ripe or gloopy - last vintage before going to the dark side? Should hold for years. Will it develop true aged Bordeaux complexity? Excellent.

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.
