2003 vintage and the Parkerization controversy
The 2003 Château Pavie became a prominent case in debate over highly concentrated, ripe, and alcoholic modern Bordeaux wines. Jancis Robinson criticized the wine's style, while Robert Parker disputed her assessment. The disagreement was amplified by media coverage and became associated with a wider argument about critic influence and stylistic convergence in fine wine.
