Chateau Pavie Macquin, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Premier Grand Cru Classé. Vintage 2012. ABV 14.5%. 84% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. — 5 years ago
This very nice 22 year old Saint Emilion is still drinking nicely with lots of complexity and a gentle mouthfeel.
Showing blue and black fruits with lots of earth notes, dark coffee, forest floor, wood and earth.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries.
Needs 90 minutes to open up properly.
A right bank Bordeaux off vintage, that is very yummy. That's a good score.
I've had the 2014 not too long ago, and it is worth putting it down for 15 years, especially if you get the 2015.
12.5% alcohol by volume.

Medium-full bodied. A little fruity, but smooth and well balanced with some tannin. — 4 years ago
2015. Plum, dark fruit, minerals and stone flavors dominate in this solid Bordeaux. Tannins are firm but not overwhelming, integrating well with the other flavors after four hours of air. Only faint oak and acidity. Would welcome some more complexity over time - definitely a strong fruit frame to make it all work down the road. $43. — 5 years ago
Great dry wine with full body and depth — 5 years ago
Big WOW! I tasted this wine in September 2018 at the event held by the French embassy at Central World in Bangkok, Thailand; the wine did not impress my tounge at all. However, I bought 2 bottles because a friend of mine imported it. Today (Jan 18, 2019), the wine tasted very delucious after 30 minutes of breathing. Very flavorfull of cherry, blackberry, plum, and tobacco together with soft tannins and silky & reasonable length on the finish. The color is intense but bright ruby red color with medium-to-full-weight which is goes well with medium & sexy acidity. Very good value, excellent balanced, and savory wine to pair well with medium spicy Thai dishes. — 7 years ago
