Pavie Macquin 2005 750mL

"Tasting like the essence of Merlot, the inky hued 2005 Château Pavie Macquin offers a beautiful yet still youthful nose of ripe black cherries, blueberries, smoked meats, iron, and an incredible, white truffle like character, which I always associate with limestone terroirs (which is exactly what this is.) With full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mouthfeel, ample mid-palate depth, and ultra-fine tannins, this is killer Saint-Emilion that will be a 40- to 50-year wine.' - Jeb Dunnuck, JD98, tasted 4/2024
