AN EVENING OF EXCEPTIONAL WINES9 EUChâteau Pavie vintage 2009 ImperialSaint-Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (B)100/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine AdvocateLying duty free ex-cellar Château Pavie1 Imperial (6 litres) in original wooden caseTasting Note: “Bottled the week before I arrived, the 2009Pavie appears to have barely budged since I tasted it twoyears ago. Many experts consider this phenomenal terroirto be nearly as great as that of Ausone. Made from a classicblend of 60-70% Merlot, 20-25% Cabernet Franc and therest Cabernet Sauvignon, this inky/blue/purple-colouredblockbuster reveals wonderful notes of blackberries, crushedrocks, roasted meats, spring flowers, cedar, blueberries,graphite and a hint of vanilla. With extravagant fruitand high extract as well as a hint of minerality, thisstructured, massively intense effort is typical of all theluxurious, perfect or nearly perfect Pavies produced underthe Perse regime (which began in 1998). While built for40-50 years of cellaring, the softness of the vintage and itsflamboyant style is slightly less apparent in the 2009 Paviethan in some of the other Perse wines. Anticipatedmaturity: 2020-2050+.”HK$22,000-27,00010 EUChâteau Pavie vintage 2009 ImperialSaint-Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (B)Lying duty free ex-cellar Château Pavie1 Imperial (6 litres) in original wooden caseHK$22,000-27,00012 EUChâteau Pavie vintage 2006 ImperialSaint-Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (B)96/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine AdvocateLying duty free ex-cellar Château Pavie1 Imperial (6 litres) in original wooden caseTasting Note: “Cropped low as the viticultural work isimpeccable, the winemaking is thoroughly Burgundian instyle, and bottling is accomplished with no fining orfiltration. With over 90 acres in vine, this is one of thelarger of the premier grand cru classes in St.-Emilion. Aprodigious effort, the 2006 does not have the sucrosite of the2005, 2003, or 2000, but it would not be embarrassed iftasted side by side with either of those two titans. A densepurple colour as well as an extraordinary perfume ofcrushed black currants, liquorice, wet stones, and subtlebackground oak are found in this tannic, dense,masculine-styled 2006. Backward and extraordinarilypure, it is built like a Manhattan skyscraper withexceptional focus, depth, texture, and length. It's all here,but 5-10 years of patience will be warranted. Anticipatedmaturity: 2015-2035.”HK$15,000-18,00011 EUChâteau Pavie vintage 2009 ImperialSaint-Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (B)Lying duty free ex-cellar Château Pavie1 Imperial (6 litres) in original wooden caseHK$22,000-27,000WWW.SPINK.COM13 EUChâteau Pavie vintage 2006 ImperialSaint-Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (B)Lying duty free ex-cellar Château Pavie1 Imperial (6 litres) in original wooden caseHK$15,000-18,000
