Chateau Pavie-Macquin Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe 2014 750 ML

Coming from two parcels planted on the upper plateau, with a terroir like Troplong-Mondot, the 2014 Chateau Pavie Macquin is more backward than the 2015 (which is expected) and offers a masculine, firm, edgy style as well as lots of black cherry and currant fruits intermixed with smoked herbs, scorched earth and lots of minerality. This medium to full-bodied 2014 has good concentration, high, integrated acidity, and an age-worthy, classic style that needs 5-6 years of bottle age. It should have three decades of overall longevity.
