Lot 4 Details
CHÂTEAU PAVIE 1998

Saint-Émilion. Premier Grand Cru Classé
u. 3 x bn..

The 1998 Pavie is deep garnet-brick in color. So much fruit comes charging out of the gate here: profound crème de cassis, baked blackberries and blackberry preserves with notions of beef dripping, crushed rocks, unsmoked cigar, sandalwood and dried lavender. Big, rich and beautifully impactful, it is completely packed with taut, muscular black and blue fruit preserves, maintaining nice firm grainy tannins with layer after layer of exotic spices, meat and earth notions, finishing epically long and minerally. Should easily continue to cellar for 25+ years. May 2018 Drink: 2018-2043 WA 97

3 bts.    per lot $900 - $1,100

Realised: $1,080
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
