I am an admirer of proprietor Valette, so it has given me no pleasure to write so-so reviews for recent Pavie vintages. I was pleased in this blind tasting to see how strongly both the 1989 and 1990 Pavies performed. Both slightly eclipsed my scores given immediately after bottling. The 1989 displays a deep ruby/garnet color with no signs of amber at the edge. It offers up an exotic, spicy, fruitcake, earthy, chocolatey nose with sweet woodsy aromas in the background. Long and youthful, with noticeably hard tannin, this medium-bodied, concentrated 1989 appears to be a slowly evolving wine. With another 2-3 years of bottle age, it may merit an outstanding score. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2016.

此款葡萄酒呈深李子/石榴紅色，散發(fā)著矮樹(shù)叢、混合肥、蘑菇、水果蛋糕、香甜的外來(lái)櫻桃和亞洲香料的香味，酒體適中，口感略顯生硬。該酒比 1990 年的酒更加年輕，其窖藏時(shí)間有可能長(zhǎng)達(dá) 20 年。預(yù)期成熟時(shí)間： 2005 至 2015 年。
