2009 - Chateau Pavie Decesse Saint Emilion

"A sign of the terrific minerality this wine possesses, crushed rocks jump from the glass of this inky bluish/purple-colored wine. Opaque to the rim, with full-bodied power, a liqueur of rocks intermixed with creme de cassis, spring flowers, black cherry, incense, and virtually no evidence of any oak, alcohol or tannin, the wine is fat, viscous, and opulent." -Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 93-96 pts.

"Tar and blackberry on the nose, with hints of licorice. Full-bodied and very concentrated, with loads of blackberry fruit. Massive. But slightly less extracted than the Pavie." -Wine Spectator, 95-98 pts.

Minimum 6 bottles, per type, required for all Futures orders.
