1994 Pavie

As readers may have noted, I have been critical of recent efforts by Pavie because of their lean, austere, malnourished personalities. The 1993-95 efforts offer little evidence that things have taken a turn for the better. This is a severe, light to medium-bodied Pavie lacking fruit, texture, and charm. Mouthsearing tannin in the finish ensures that this wine's fruit will never survive 8-10 years of cellaring. Feb 1997, www.robertparker.com
