The 2014 Pavie-Macquin has a fragrant bouquet with ebullient red berry fruit, rose petals and cedar all beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fine red berry fruit laced with cedar and lightly spiced, demonstrating superb intensity and elegance on the long finish. What a great Saint-Émilion this is turning out to be. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. März 2018

The 2014 Pavie-Macquin has a concentrated bouquet with layers of blackberry and raspberry coulis, infused with potpourri and incense. There is something almost forbidding about the aromatics at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe red berry fruit, a fine line of acidity, although it feels a little soft on the finish when I needed more precision and backbone. Let's see how this ages in bottle, because I suspect that it will gain more density and structure with 2-3 years of bottle age. März 2017

The purity and clarity to the nose of this wine are really exceptional with crushed berries, cherries and currants. Fruit and density are so impressive, yet this is so linear on the center palate, which gives it direction and focus. Fabulous. Better than 2009? Drink in 2022, but hard not to drink now. Februar 2017
