Felt like a sparkling wine almost. Apple and pear on the palate.

Drank my last bottle from my cellar. Unfortunately, I haven't kept notes when I purchased this wine, but it's been in my cellar for at least a decade.

I was worried that the bottle is over the hill, but no. It still delivered lots of fruit and plum. Lucky me.

This has been the best Zenato vintage so far.

I love 100% Petit Verdot. This is decent. I’ve had better and I’ve had worse.

A full-bodied wine with long legs. The nose reveals boozy notes, sour cherries, fruit, and marmalade. On the palate, ripe plums dominate, accompanied by hints of tobacco and dark leaves. It has a dark and viscous color.

Popped and poured. Left half a bottle over night and consumed next day.

Short-to-medium body, medium acidity, very little tannins left. Plenty of fruit left. Could taste lots of cherry. I also sensed some lead on the first day.

Very enjoyable Bordeaux. Such a contrast to today's boozy wines.

I cellared a case upon release. Wine drinks beautifully now. Needs about 1 hour decant. It will open up as a classic St. Estephe -- a little bit of lead, wet leaves with fruit left.

I'm not planning to hold on it much longer because the fruit might start to disappear.

Cellared since 2016. Opened and poured. Nose was not great. Taste felt like salt at first, but then it opened up with flowery notes. Nice overall, but not great.

No need to wait on this anymore.

Lots of heat almost like a Zin. Medium color, short finish, sweet, no legs. Bought because of earlier scores in CT. Disappointed.

Smooth, light, nice color. Not a lot of fruit, a little licorice, lead, pencil, tobacco. Uninspiring. More cellaring won’t help.

Had a Magnum bottle. Drank it over a couple of days. Used a decanter the first day. The wine is in perfect drinking window (at least from a magnum).

Medium legs, and smooth finish, but little fruit or anything notable.

Picked up from cellar, decanted for 2 hours. Lots of fruit on the palate, mostly black cherry, but also a little raspberry, and some blueberries.

Very smooth and velvety. Medium finish.

Decanted for an hour before drinking. Lots of sour cherry, red brick, some barn, some basalt rock (salt?).

Delicious wine for those who like an oomph in their glass.

Popped the cork, used the Vinturi but no decanting.

Very young and tanny wine. Lots of notes of cherry, blueberry, some dark chocolate. Short finish.

Do yourself a favor and let this wine rest for awhile. It's way to young to drink it now.

2015 Château Pavie Macquin

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more

7/26/2018 - Take Two wrote: 89 points

Pavie Macquin 2015 - opened a 375ml and drank it over two nights. One glass each night.

On first night -- tight tannins, nice bouquet. On sipping, extremely velvety, strong hints of rosehip mixed with some notes of leaves. Nice, elegant, felt like it needed another 5 years min to open up. 92 points.

On second night, things took a wrong turn. Felt like a New World wine with lots of alcohol. The only redeeming quality is that you could feel some plums (prunes) notes if you really try hard. 85 points.

Average: 89 points (but more like 88.5).

Light ruby color, short legs, short finish. No bouquet. The Wine Spectator rating is a mistake. Not a bad wine to pair with a slice of pizza. Pass.
