Pavie 2017

Saint-Émilion, France

WineSaint
Brooding and muscular, with cassis, espresso and graphite building in waves. The structure feels almost Pauillac-like in its austerity. Firm tannins and mineral backbone dominate over fruit at this stage. Built for the long haul and demanding patience. Drink 2025-2040.
