Wine Advocate
Reviewed December 2008The 2006 Les Pavots (a 2,730-case blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot) exhibits big notes of chocolate fudge intermixed with dark berry fruit, forest floor, underbrush, and some smoky oak. The wine is full-bodied, with remarkable intensity, low acidity, and a fleshy, opulent mouthfeel. (RP)

Int'l Wine Cellar
Glass-staining ruby. Powerful aromas of red- and blackcurrant, with deeper cherry compote, tobacco and candied licorice emerging with air. Very rich but surprisingly graceful, offering sweet red and dark berry flavors, velvety texture and a suave floral pastille quality. Tightens up on the finish, which repeats the redcurrant and licorice notes and simply refuses to let up. This wine's depth and linear character are something else. (JR)
Notes
92 points Neal Martin's Wine Journal: "A deep garnet core. This has a well defined nose, dark chocolate, coca, a hint of scorched earth inflecting the intense black fruit. There is a hint of tomato leaf developing with time. The palate is full-bodied with grainy tannins, off-dry, dark chocolate and espresso, a touch of dried fig, blackberry, leading to a tannic, earthy finish that is a little more restrained than usual. Very fine." (05/2011)
