2007 Pavie

[TheEngineer]

Drinking this thing you would never know that it was a poor vintage.

The color is the first thing you notice. It is dark opaque purple. Nose is also rather intense with notes of dark currant, berries, toasted oak and pencil lead. On the palate, no doubt a full bodied, smooth and lush, but always with a sense that there is sufficient support behind it, keeping it rather fresh. Indian spices and a slightly hot and bitter finish.

In density, it is not much behind the 2000 I tried recently but this one was definitely fresher and at this stage, it is not far behind the 2000 to my palate. It was showing rather well.
