This is always an extremely masculine, dense, burly wine, and the 2010, which tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol (just slightly under that of the 2009), has a final blend of 80% Merlot and the rest virtually all Cabernet Franc, with just 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. Loads of crushed rock and chalkiness, along with licorice, black truffle, smoked game and black fruits dominate the aromatics and flavor. Backward, formidably endowed, full-bodied and almost atypically massive and huge, with gargantuan extraction, this is a wine for patient connoisseurs to forget about for close to a decade. Anticipated maturity: 2022-2040+.
Score: 95+ Robert Parker (RP), The Wine Advocate (WA), February 2013
Gorgeous nose with great complexity. Blackberry, licorice and a steely mineral note. Lots of chalk, nutmeg and violets too. Dense and full-bodied on the palate with a beautiful fruit and a sumptuous fruity finish that just goes on and on. Velvety tannins and layered texture with lots of raw licorice. Drink from 2018.

A towering, statuesque wine, the 2010 Pavie-Macquin is distinguished by its vertical explosiveness and soaring intensity. Red cherry jam, plums and dried flowers are some of the many aromas and flavors that open up as the 2010 gains breadth over time. Naturally, the 2010 is still a very young wine, but it is incredibly impressive just the same, not to mention one of the highlights of the morning.
Score: 97 Antonio Galloni (AG), Vinous Media (VM), December 2019
The 2010 Pavie Macquin has a rather lovely menthol/star anis scented bouquet, ripe and extrovert but demonstrating more composure than the Troplong-Mondot alongside. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet core of black plummy fruit, slightly lower acidity than expected but it remains well balanced with a caressing soy and black pepper tinged finish that fans out nicely. Excellent, if more exotic than I would have liked in the context of the growing season. Tasted at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting.
