Château Pavie Macquin 2025

The 2025 Pavie Macquin is a powerful, structured wine. In most vintages, Pavie Macquin is sensual and silky, but the 2025 is quite tannic in this tasting. Dark-fleshed fruit, chocolate, menthol, licorice, sage and lavender add to an impression of brooding density and pure power. Floral top notes lift the close. I can’t wait to see how this ages. Tasted two times. Drinking window: 2033-2065. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
