Composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc with a pH of 3.57 and 14.52% alcohol, the 2018 Pavie Decesse is deep garnet-purple in color, bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of stewed black and red cherries, plum pudding and blackberry preserves, leading to an undercurrent of Indian spices, cardamom, camphor and star anise, plus a waft of woodsmoke. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely coated with black fruit preserves and exotic spices, supported by a firm, velvety texture and bags of freshness, finishing on a lingering menthol note. It is absolutely scrumptious right now, but give it 4-5 years or more in bottle for experiencing that next-level, and drink it over the following 25+ years.

這是一款風(fēng)格宏大的葡萄酒，伴有綿密的波森莓、無花果和洛根莓的風(fēng)味，在同年份的葡萄酒中遙遙領(lǐng)先。其果味華麗，展現(xiàn)令人驚嘆的張力，一些香料與烘烤的氣息貫穿始終。這是一款引人注目的葡萄酒。
