2018 PAVILLON ROUGE (SUBSKRIPTION)

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«
