The 2018 Pavie Macquin is deep garnet-purple colored and a little closed to begin, slowly revealing subtle notions of dark chocolate, candied violets and rose hip tea over a core of plum preserves, blueberry compote and cherry coulis plus wafts of woodsmoke and crushed stones. Full-bodied, the palate has a seriously impressive structure of ripe, firm, velvety tannins and bold freshness carrying off all that rich black fruit, finishing very long and mineral laced.-LPB
Packed with very expressive boysenberry and red currant paste aromas and flavors, this is dense and fleshy in feel, but has the energy to easily carry it off. Lots of chalky cut on the long finish. Rock-solid. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.-JM
The 2018 Pavie-Macquin is another wine in this range that is more about elegance and power, even though there is plenty of the textural richness the château's fans have come to expect. In some ways, it reminds me of the 2001, especially in its aromatic profile. Rose petal, lavender, crème de cassis and mint give the 2018 striking inner perfume. A wine of exceptional balance and pedigree, the 2018 is simply fabulous today.-AG
