2000 Château Pavie

Decanted approximately 3 hours prior to serving. This wine was tasted single blind among a lineup that included 2000 Cheval Blanc, 2000 La Mission, 1996 Margaux, 1986 Mouton, and 1998 Cheval Blanc. Among the 2000s I thought the Pavie finished in second place behind the La Mission. IMHO, the Cheval blanc 2000 had a more explosive nose, but did not follow through on the palate, while the La Mission was simply superior to both from beginning to end. The Pavie had a gorgeous nose marked by tobacco smoke, graphite, asphalt, blue, black, and red fruit, flowers, and spice box. The color was not any darker than the cheval or la mission, and was surprisingly similar to that of the '90 petrus tasted shortly after. On the palate, there was a wealth of ripe and super pure cassis, cherry, blackberry along with graphite, smoke, abundant glycerin and a persistent finish with surprisingly well integrated tannins. Wish I had bought more.
