In the mouth, the wine is medium bodied and flavorful, with a sweet, oaky component that has blended in well with the wine's fruit. In short, Pavie's 1981 is a very good, elegant, medium-weight wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Thief","offers":[{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":32744736817261,"sku":"22158","price":2385.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/6714\/3789\/products\/Pavie_ac78b26c-2a8c-4b1f-ae50-f31d52b15b87.jpg?v=1592413105"},{"product_id":"angelus-2004-0-75l","title":"Angelus 2004","description":"\u003cp\u003e60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eRobert Parker: 95, James Suckling: 92\/94\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eRobert Parker: A deep blue\/purple hue is accompanied by classic aromas of smoky blueberries and blackberries as well as incense and floral notes in the background.
