'The backward 1988 Pavie is a structured, tannic wine, balanced nicely by elegant, ripe, tobacco and black cherry-scented fruit, good acidity, and a long, spicy, tannic finish.'- Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

The 1988 Pavie is a vintage I have met a couple of times before, this predating Gérard Perse's acquisition in 1997. It has an attractive old school nose of light black fruit, roof tiles and cedar; a little diffuse but still fresh. The palate is medium-bodied with a tart cherry entry, wild mushroom and sandalwood.' - Neal Martin, Vinous (May 2018)
