The 1999 Pavie shows very similarly to another ex-château bottle encountered a few months earlier. It has an attractive bouquet that has mellowed in recent years notes of bacon fat and mint infusing the red and black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin red fruit a touch of hung game and a tarry finish that does not convey the same level of freshness and delineation as the 1998 and 2000 do nowadays. A seductive Pavie though less turbocharged than subsequent vintages. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the estate.
vWine Advocate: 92 Points
This wine has a very youthful color and seems to be close to full maturity without the density of the 1998 or its successor the perfect 2000. It has abundant foresty notes plenty of spice box blackcurrant and black cherry fruit some background toasty oak medium to full body and sweet tannin. A very delicious wine it offers a complex and fragrant style. It should be drunk over the next 12-15 years.
