The expressive flavors of ripe cherry, raspberry, pomegranate and rose are offset by thick, dusty tannins and accents of wild herbs and menthol. This red stays vibrant throughout, with a long aftertaste of red fruit and savory notes. Delivers layers, freshness and the potential for aging. Best from 2029 through 2048.

96 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The expressive 2021 Brunello di Montalcino opens with an array of crushed violet and lavender tones before giving way to citrus-laced blackberries and cherries. Cool-toned and wickedly fresh, it possesses a solid core of mineral-infused wild berry fruits and blue and purple inner florals that arch throughout. Sweet tannins frame the finish beautifully as hints of balsamic spice and pomegranate linger incredibly long. The 2021 is a radiant beast in need of taming. It's hard to put this glass down.

17 John Paul Martins - Grandes Escholas

17.5pts out of 20pts "Tinta Roriz and Tinta Amarela, from high altitudes and transitional schist/granite soils. Made with little maceration, it immediately attracts with its enormous purity of fruit, with notes of fresh berries, cherry, raspberry. Very smooth tannins, very light toast accompanying the fruit, a light, elegant, delicious red."

91 Wine Spectator

A nicely defined version, with a core of fresh, sapid kirsch and blackberry fruit backed by hints of licorice, singed apple wood and warm earth. For fans of the toastier style.

Released in a special bottle to celebrate the 25th harvest of Gerard Perse, Looking at the Grand Vin, the 2022 Château Pavie is 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon raised in 75% new barrels for 20 months. It brings a more focused, precise style in its darker berries, graphite, crushed stone, and floral aromatics and flavors. These carry to a full-bodied Pavie with flawless overall balance, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. This pure, powerful, yet aristocratic Pavie will benefit from 7-8 years (you can drink it even today) and have 3-4 decades of longevity.

97-99+ Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The Wine Independent

The 2022 Pavie is a blend of 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon with a pH of 3.67. Yields were 31 hl/ha. Deep garnet-purple in color, it erupts from the glass with powerful notes of juicy blackberries, black currant pastilles, and wild blueberries, followed by classic hints of violets, licorice, red loam, wood smoke, and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate delivers fantastic tension between the intense, muscular black fruit flavors and a lively backbone, framed by beautifully ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long and fragrant. Superb.

99 Peter Moser - Falstaff

Deep dark ruby ​​garnet, inky, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate rim brightening. Fine nuances of liquorice, floral notes, black forest berries, blackcurrant and tangerine zest, inviting bouquet. Substantial, tightly meshed, mineral and taut, tight tannins, ripe and long lasting, dark fruit on the finish, showing great length and certain aging potential.

98 Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider

Deep, dark, intense, concentrated, powerful, long, and rich, this is an attention-seeking wine from the moment it hits your glass, with its opaque, black-purple hue. With just a swirl or two, the wine releases notes of black, red, and blue fruits, licorice, espresso, chocolate, and smoke. Surprisingly, even with this much weight, the wine is nimble, balanced, and fresh on the palate. That sense of lift remains from the mid-palate through to the finish. This is the first vintage where you find the vines from Bellevue Mondotte, and Pavie Decesse integrated into Chateau Pavie. The wine blends 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc with 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2030-2065.

97 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The 2022 Pavie turned out beautifully. Although a touch reticent post-bottling, the 2022 impresses with its notable energy and vibrancy. Dark-toned fruit, leather, spice, menthol, licorice and gravel stain the palate. The 2022 offers tons of textural intensity but without the overt weight that was once such a signature here. I can't wait to see how it ages.
