Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2012 Pavie celebrates its reclassification and upgrade to Class A St.-Emilion by sporting a new black label with gold print. Fortunately, every Pavie has benefitted since Perse began a complete makeover of this estate in 1998. From 47-year-old vines, the 2012 has an inky purple color, judicious toasty oak in the nose interwoven with copious blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, Christmas spices, as well as licorice and graphite. Full-bodied, rich and moderately tannic, it will require 5-7 years of bottle age but should drink well for 20-30 years. Kudos to Chantal and Gerard Perse for their extraordinary commitment to quality, which is so evident in this more challenging vintage than some of the great years like 2009 and 2010. Very low yields of 28 hectoliters per hectare were obtained from this 92-acre estate.

Bottled under a black label to celebrate Pavie’s addition to the Grand Cru Classé “A” classification, the 2012 Chateau Pavie is a brilliant wine, and readers with bottles in their cellars are in for a treat. From a bottle purchased in the US, this deep purple-hued beauty takes plenty of air (it showed best the day after opening) to show at its best yet offers incredible notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, scorched earth, graphite, leafy herbs, violets, and background oak. Rich, full-bodied, and powerful, it nevertheless has incredible elegance and purity, with loads of silky tannins, terrific freshness, and a blockbuster finish. I continue to believe 2012 was a great, great vintage for the Right Bank, and this just adds fuel to the fire. This beauty is approachable today yet will mostly likely merit a triple-digit rating in 5-7 years and will keep for 30-40 years, given its impeccable balance and depth of fruit.
James Suckling
Open nose of bramble jelly with a glaze of toasty aromas. Both quite rich and well-structured with plenty of fine tannin and pronounced earthiness on the generous palate. Very focused, long finish with energy, suggesting that this has many years ahead of it. An excellent 2012! Drink or hold.
Druvor
50% merlot, 32% cabernet franc & 18% cabernet sauvignon.

Årgång 2012 i Bordeaux
Vänstra stranden | Médoc & Péssac-Léognan
88 poäng
Sval och blöt tidigt ledde till ojämn skörd och sjukdomar, medan torr, varm augusti resulterade i en del blockerad mognad; Septemberregn hjälpte, men skördeperioden var kort innan oktoberregnen anlände, vilket lämnade några caberneter märkta av strama tanniner; Péssac och Margaux gynnade framför övre Médoc; mer inkonsekvent överlag än högra stranden.
Högra stranden | Pomerol & Saint-Emilion
90 poäng
Tidig mognad Merlot gynnas i allmänhet framför väsntra strandens Cabernet. Lerjordar med god vattenretention höll vinstockar igång under augustitorkan, medan grus lätt rann av de senare regnet. Pomerol mycket fast; St.-Emilion mer inkonsekvent med vissa viner som är benägna att överextraktion.
