Its dense purple color is followed by an incredibly classic limestone-driven bouquet of chalky minerality, white flowers, truffle, lead pencil, and cassis and blackberry-like fruits. This carries to an incredibly pure, full-bodied Saint-Emilion with nicely integrated acidity, flawless balance, building tannins, and a great finish. This remarkable, elegant yet powerful 2018 won't hit full maturity for another 10-12 years, but it's a magical Saint-Emilion that should live for 30-40 years. (Drink between 2031-2066)\" Jeb Dunnuck, March 2021\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJS98 \"Aromas of reduced blackberry and blueberry with black licorice and dried flowers. It’s full-bodied with chewy yet polished tannins and a long finish. A little tight and reserved now, but shows intensity and focus. Powerful. Merlot with 10% cabernet franc. Try after 2026.\" James Suckling, Jan 2021\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRP97+ \"Composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc with a pH of 3.57 and 14.52% alcohol, the 2018 Pavie Decesse is deep garnet-purple in color, bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of stewed black and red cherries, plum pudding and blackberry preserves, leading to an undercurrent of Indian spices, cardamom, camphor and star anise, plus a waft of woodsmoke. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely coated with black fruit preserves and exotic spices, supported by a firm, velvety texture and bags of freshness, finishing on a lingering menthol note. It is absolutely scrumptious right now, but give it 4-5 years or more in bottle for experiencing that next-level, and drink it over the following 25+ years.\" Lisa Perrotti-Brown for The Wine Advocate, March 2021","brand":"Pavie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50539809439981,"sku":"BDX:PAV:PAVD-0750-2018-F0L0C0","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2018-chateau-pavie-decesse-saint-emilion-bottle-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
