Château Pavie
Saint-Èmilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend
In a word: Napaesque.
I just made that word up...but it seems to capture the essence of what's going on here. This fat baby has 10-15+ years to reach its apogee.

En Mag from @Joe Lucca this is still shedding tannin and bordering on overripe but it really does a good job of not falling over the precipice of this hot vintage. Not as much my style anymore but an excellent peek. Does what it does well.
