Tasting notes
At this property the 1991 is better than the 1992. Pavie is one of a handful of St.-Emilion premier grand cru classes to produce a 1991. While it is hardly a stellar effort, the wine does offer medium ruby color, a spicy, attractive, bing cherry, vanillin-scented nose, ripe, medium-bodied flavors, light tannin, and adequate depth. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
