  This is drinking so beautifully right now with very recognizable blue and red Margaux fruits and classic Margaux charm. The texture is silky and layered and the wine is perfectly balanced and ready with a fine finish that just flows softly over the tongue. As good an aged Pavillon Rouge as I've ever had.

  PnP.
  Black berries, plum, dark chocolate, sweet spice, cedar. Still youthful! Medium bodied, with plenty left in the tank for years of development.

  Still too young! Typical characteristics of the 2005 vintage. Backwards and tannic! Despite being 18 years old, it seems like it is only a few years old! Decanted for 12 hours. I think it still needs 5-10 years further aging to be at its plateau.
  
  Anticipated maturity 2026 to 2032.

  [served blind. my guess was mid-aughts for vintage; as for AOC, i suspected right bank as the Merlot was very present].
  
  deep ruby and garnet rim in the glass. complex and perfumed in the nose: dried rose, cedar shavings, and tobacco waft thru the aromas of macerated cassis and blueberry. juicy, fleshy and round in mouth, the fruit has a supple, silky texture against the very polished tannins. earthy, spice, and dark cocoa notes grow in the mid palate. long, nuanced persistence.
  
  well-developed and likely at peak with another handful of years of enjoyment ahead.
  
  13.5% AbV; equal shares of CS and Merlot (48%), with the rest (4%) PV
