Scores + Notes
An amazing achievement in this vintage, although not at the level of the prodigious 2003, 2001, or 2000, the 2002 Pavie Decesse is a dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied wine revealing notes of dried herbs, fruitcake, licorice, black currants, and cherries. Textured, fleshy, and concentrated, this is one of the stars of the Right Bank in this challenging vintage. Its low acidity and plush style suggest enjoying it now and over the next 15+ years.

Robert Parker Score: 93/100
Impressive color with a serious intensity of berries, chocolate and toasted oak. Medium- to full-bodied, with round and velvety tannins and a medium finish. A caressing red. Best after 2007. 750 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2005
Wine Spectator Score: 89/100

2014 Bordeaux: GPL, Feytit-Clinet and the Perse selection
Yesterday afternoon saw the release of 2014 Grand-Puy-Lacoste. This was one of our favourite wines of the vintage, and at GBP 375 per dozen in bond it looks good, though one can buy the 2008 and the 2006 for a similar sum. Whatever one might think of the price, the wine is excellent: pure Pauillac, complete and fresh. This morning sees ...
