Chateau Pavie-Decesse--Vintage 2000
Saint-Emilion, grand cru classé
Tasting note: Gerard Perses 2000 Pavie Decesse, a blend of 90 Merlot and 10 Cabernet Franc from a vineyard situated above Pavie, on the steep limestone hillsides outside the walled town of St.-Emilion, is a fabulous effort (all the Perse wines are stunning in this vintage). Notes of camphor, creme de cassis, violets, black currants, cedar, and licorice jump from the glass of this inky/purple-hued offering. Monumental richness, sensational sweet tannin, a skyscraper-like mid-palate, and a 45+-second finish result in an extraordinary wine that is just reaching its plateau of full maturity. It should last for another 20-25 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 189, June 2010
