  Twice, see my previous notes, I considered this wine as nearly too old.
  This time, we were invited by our friends Pieter and José (she is from '67), we have tasted two terrific bottles, the first, the '67 Fonseca's Pasmados and the second one, this Pavie. Everything in this wine was in the right place with the right components. The colour was ripe, but lively, the nose was also ripe but still fresh and deep and in the medium bodied taste there was no sign of decay. Creamy, some chocolat; an experience.

  Yesterday I have surprised a friend of mine (born in '67) with this wine. After popping the wine was light and brown coloured, but after an hour the wine has gained in depth and colour (brown rim and a sound core with some red in it), the nose was delicate with some sweet aspects (added sugar), in the taste some overripeness, but overall very nice, but past its prime.

  Yesterday I thought that 75 points would be the maximum, but today I noticed a kind of resurrection. Now only at the end of the aftertaste some metallic taste shows age, but the wine has a nicely balanced taste, just enough body and a friendly, ripe bouquet. Once this wine was absolutely more convincing. Still this wine is nice to taste.

  Not on par with the 1966, but a captivating nose on opening, and still holding red fruit under the smoky leather and earth. A touch dirty, this bottle. But one of the better '67s still around.

  Almost identical to the bottle I opened two weeks earlier. Remarkably dark and rich for a wine of its age and vintage, with beautiful sweetness of fruit. I only have one more bottle, but it will certainly keep for a while.
