Bordeaux Total René Gabriel:

60 % Merlot, 25 % Cabernet Franc, 15 % Cabernet Sauvignon. 28 hal/ha. Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Mokka, Cassis, reife Brombeeren, dunkle Edelhölzer und schwarze Oliven, konzentriert aber nicht unzugänglich, im Untergrund genügend Röstaromen welche einen zusätzlichen Touch von dunklem Brot und Pumpernickel verleihen. Im Gaumen dann die ganz grosse Überraschung! Von der Nase hätte man sich auf einen Boliden eingestellt und jetzt ist das Ganz erstaunlich fein, saftig mit wunderschöner Balance und durchaus noblen Anlagen. Und genau das sucht man ja in einem Premier Grand Cru. Vor allem wenn als zusätzliche Information dann noch ein A darauf steht! Trotzdem wird das kein Spaziergang. Auch dieser Pavie wird sich nicht in den ersten 10 Jahren auf ein Genuss-Techtel-Mechtel einlassen. Trinkreife 2020-2045. Bewertung 18/20. -René Gabriel-

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2012 Pavie celebrates its reclassification and upgrade to Class A St.-Emilion by sporting a new black label with gold print. Fortunately, every Pavie has benefitted since Perse began a complete makeover of this estate in 1998. From 47-year-old vines, the 2012 has an inky purple color, judicious toasty oak in the nose interwoven with copious blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, Christmas spices, as well as licorice and graphite. Full-bodied, rich and moderately tannic, it will require 5-7 years of bottle age but should drink well for 20-30 years. Kudos to Chantal and Gerard Perse for their extraordinary commitment to quality, which is so evident in this more challenging vintage than some of the great years like 2009 and 2010. Very low yields of 28 hectoliters per hectare were obtained from this 92-acre estate. Drink Date 2020-2052. Rating 95/100. -Robert M. Parker, Jr.-

Vinous:

The 2012 Pavie has been impressive on the two occasions I have tasted it so far. Exotic scents of graphite, smoke, new leather and dark fruit open up first. Deep, intense and rich, especially within the context of the year, the 2012 finds greater finesse and nuance with time in bottle. Pavie is a rare 2012 that is going to require time in bottle, as the tannins are imposing at this early stage. I imagine the 2012 will be divine in another few years. Even today, it is exceptionally well-balanced and harmonious in the modern-day flamboyant Pavie style. The 2012 is 60% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon that spend 28 months in barrel. Rating 95/100. -Antonio Galloni-

James Suckling:

Open nose of bramble jelly with a glaze of toasty aromas. Both quite rich and well-structured with plenty of fine tannin and pronounced earthiness on the generous palate. Very focused, long finish with energy, suggesting that this has many years ahead of it. An excellent 2012! Drink or hold. Rating 94/100. -JamesSuckling.com-

Jancis Robinson:

Tasted blind. Shiny blackish crimson. Very sweet, almost black-cherry ripeness on the nose. They have done their very best with the fruit but it’s a little sour and uncompromising on the end. Pretty demanding. Not lots of fun! Not sure there is any point in trying to make a long-distance runner in 2012… Very chewy green end. Appetising though and I marked it up by 0.5. Drink Date 2024-2036. Rating 17/20. -Jancis Robinson-
