James Suckling: 95-96 100 Punkte »Fantastic depth of ripe fruit with currant and dark-berry
aromas. Hints of citrus and dry earth. Full body and round velvety tannins that are melted
into the wine. Very intense and fruity.« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93-95 100 Punkte »The
2018 Pavillon Rouge accounts for 30% of the crop this year. It is composed of 69% Cabernet
Sauvignon 19% Merlot 9% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc with 14.5% alcohol. Deep
garnet-purple in color it sings of crushed black and red currants warm black berries and plum
pudding with touches of fungi cedar chest truffles and smoked meats plus a fragrant
undercurrent of fallen leaves and potpourri. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a solid
backbone of fine-grained tannins and loads of freshness supporting the vibrant red and black
fruits finishing long.« Falstaff: 93 100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat violette Reflexe
zarter Wasserrand. Reife Herzkirschen Brombeerkonfit feine Kräuterwürze ein Hauch von
Edelholz einladendes Bukett. Kraftvoll dunkle Frucht zart nach Bitterschokolade gute
Säurestruktur würzig im Abgang mineralischer Nachhall bleibt haften etwas Kardamom im
Finale.« Wine Enthusiast: 92-94 100 Punkte »Barrel Sample. While there is density to this wine
it still manages to show an elegant edge. Its freshness is impeccable with bright acidity and
the modicum of tannins offering support to fine berry flavors.« Decanter: 92 100 Punkte »Richly
coloured almost inky this is seductive and full of flavour with raspberry and brambled fruits
that have texture and density. For me this is far more similar to the 2009 than the 2010. It's
an enjoyable Pavillon all parts present and correct and well assembled even if it's a little
less supple and fragrant than in some years. A subtle closing in on the finish gives you a clue
to how tannic this really is (82IPT high for this estate). 3% Cabernet Franc makes up the
blend with 13% press wine. 60% new oak ageing. Drinking Window 2024 - 2038« Bitte beachten Sie
