This is an estate where the quality of the second wine is more than a simple afterthought. The 1999 Pavillon Rouge de Margaux exhibits notes of herbs in its elegant, medium-bodied, forward, complex personality. It possesses the character of its big sister, but not the weight, concentration, or length. Enjoy it over the next decade.- Robert Parker Jr. (04/2002)

Gorgeous blackberries, currants and spices on the nose. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a luscious aftertaste. Best after 2004. 16,665 cases made. — JS (03/2002)

Medium ruby-red. Ripe, sappy aromas of boysenberry and currant, with a strong floral note. Supple, concentrated and thoroughly ripe, with noteworthy concentration for a second wine. Finishes with ripe tannins and a hint of bitter chocolate.- Stephen Tanzer (5/2)
