1998 Chateau Pavie

[TheEngineer]

I brought this bottle with me to Hong Kong and popped that night. I am usually very concerned about bottle shock and certainty this bottle showed that as it was more muted than others that I've had....but.

Still, what a bottle! True and classic bordeaux, even slightly muted, perhaps showed the balance a bit more, gravely, pure fruit, lush, perfectly assembled. This is a great bottle that will be like this for a long time. No no no rush at all......decades really! People did not realize that they were drinking a close to 20 year old wine.
