Chateau Pavie, Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe A 2020 - OWC of 1 bottle x 75cl

"Composed of 50% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 16% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is aged in French oak barriques, 75% new. Opaque purple-black colored, notes of plum pudding, blueberry pie and dark chocolate-covered cherries charge out of the gate, followed closely by hints of eucalyptus, star anise, unsmoked cigars and fertile loam with a hint of cedar chest. The full-bodied palate is built like a brick house, offering very firm yet wonderfully ripe, velvety tannins and seamless freshness to support the densely laden, muscular black and blue fruits, finishing very long and with loads of mineral-laced layers. As hedonic as it is cerebral this year, it is a beautiful paradox."
