Chateau Pavie Macquin, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2018 Catalonia blackberries and tar are someThis is just so good. Not overly big, it has nuance, sapidity and grace, with space between the lines. It's not sacrificing its concentration but it gives you a chance to get onboard and accompany it along the way. I love the quality of the brambled blackberry and loganberry fruit here, and the touch of austerity that gives a welcome note of bitter chocolate to the finish. 98 Pts Decanter
