Chateau Pavie, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2010 Le Vigne di Alice The oak is integrated andDeep garnet in color, the 2010 Pavie delivers tantalizing suggestions of candied violets, star anise and tapenade over a core of prunes, blueberry compote, Morello cherries and fruitcake with touches of underbrush and bouquet garni. Full bodied, rich and exotically opulent, the palate has a rock solid texture of velvety tannins and bold freshness supporting the generous palate of black and blue berry preserves, finishing long and fragrant. 100 Pts
