This is juicy and fresh in feel despite the obvious heft, with a brambly note underneath the core of blueberry, açai and boysenberry fruit. Loads of licorice, bay, tobacco and black tea flavors fill in through the finish. A flashy display, but this has the cut and drive to pull it off.—Non-blind Pavie vertical (March 2017).

The 2014 Pavie is silky, powerful and intense, with all of its elements in the right place. In 2014, Pavie is exceptionally polished, with plenty of richness but less of the bombastic style of some years past. Part of that is, of course, the personality of the vintage, but at the same time, there has been a move toward a bit more finesse here in recent years. A rush of raspberry jam, pomegranate, mint and white flowers leads into the vivid, richly textured finish. The 2014 is a gorgeous Pavie loaded with personality.

More to the British taste with the record amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. Long and linear with plenty of freshness. Firmly structured but a touch more finesse than in the past. Saline note on the finish.
