November 5, 2023 - 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.

June 24, 2023 - tasted blind. A hint of tomato on the nose. in the mouth coffee, rich fruit, smooth, and sexy. Alexander the great guessed Bordeaux, but i was pretty sure its california; i mean who makes this style of wine in Bordeaux? Oh yeah, i guess Perse does. Seems i last tried this just over a decade ago, and i think its in a lovely place now, though the '99, last night, had a leg up on it in richness. coming on the heels of several more recent and disappointment Pavie tastings (younger vintages,tight &tannic ), my conclusion is that this cuvee needs 25 years in bottle to be approachable.

December 8, 2022 - This continues to be my favorite Pavie. It was WOTN at a charity dinner featuring a 1998 horizontal of Pavie, Pavie Macquin, Cheval Blanc and Ausone, along with a vertical of Leoville Las Cases from 1986, 1989, 2000 and 2003. So wow.
