9.5

2013 vintage. Last tasted 11.1.24 (9.6). Decanted (small amount of sed) and tasted after 30 minutes, 1.5 hours and 3 hours. Still built for the long haul...like a quarter century+. Super floral and pretty nose this visit. Biggie, Brutalist architecture with sadistic infrastructure. Yes please! 9.26.26. — 4 days ago

2016 vintage. Decanted without incident/attention. Super dry intro and outro super meh but displaying a phenomenal mid-palate that (nearly) overrides the whatever finish. Suspect things could integrate/change in the next 3-5 years. 9.26.26. — 4 days ago

2023 vintage. 15.2% abv but tasted more like 14.4 or so. Decanted and tasted after an hour. Medium body. Somewhat restrained for the area and showing beautifully now. Absolutely no rush to crush. Plenty of time and space with this one. 09.24.26. — 6 days ago

9.3

2003 vintage. *Full disclosure* Not the biggest Pavie fan as I've consistently found it underwhelming for the commanding pricing and eternally in need of yet "another hour" in a decanter. Great fill and opened with a Durand but feel that the cork (in great shape) would have come out decently easy with a standard wine key. Given my issues with Pavie in the past, brought over two decanters so as to agitate the wine between them four times. Initial pass, good amount of sediment with the vast majority of it caked onto the sides of the bottle. Yay! Great boysenberry/raspberry nose noted during the first decant. Tasted after two hours. Medium body. Some earth, the aforementioned berries and hints of rich chocolate cake, including frosting, on the scene. Despite all the lavished attention and fuss, still suspect this would show better twelve hours later at breakfast with waffles and Count Chocula cereal. High-maintenance for the bean-counters. 9.26.26. — 4 days ago

Agreement on Pavie underwhelming for the price point. Not that it is bad. It. Just never enjoyed it that much compared to other of its peers at the same price point or less.

I’ve found some of their vintages kinda green (as far as aromatics go ) but haven’t had them recently

9.1

2024 vintage. Tasted via Coravin. Light-medium body. Nicely made. Fairly clean now and without complications. Flipside is that depth/length of finish lacking a tad now. Another year and a half/two years should find this solidly in the 9.2 range with that added depth. Liked it enuff to pick up 3 cases at $66.77 a bottle. Been stockpiling value white Burg the last year+ so this won't hit the list till 2028. 09.24.26. — 6 days ago
