2003 Château Pavie Decesse

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

92 Points

Friday, July 28, 2023 - This time we did not decant the wine and opened it less than 30 minutes before dinner. The results were better than previous bottle (2 years ago). The wine has lovely fruit flavors and mouthfeel, and it worked very well with rare steaks. However, it doesn't have the complexity and structure of a great Bordeaux, notwithstanding Parker's 97 points, "amazing" and a "modern day classic". It started to "run out of gas" about 90 minutes in (by which time we were almost done with the bottle, so no harm). I don't see this getting better with more age, and I do not recommend decanting or opening much before consumption.
