Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Mid crimson. Smells like claret! Tastes like claret! Or do I mean that I expect St-Estèphe to have lots of acidity?! But there is fruit here, too. Good effort for a wine with a future. Richness, balance and energy. (JR)

The 2021 Château Ormes De Pez is another charming, forward, undeniably delicious Saint-Estephe in the vintage. Slightly more red-fruited, it has ample currant fruit as well as some spicy, herbal nuances. These all carry to a medium-bodied, balanced, nicely textured 2021 with ripe tannins and integrated acidity. Give it 2-4 years and enjoy over the following decade or so.
The 2021 Ormes de Pez is quite striking on the nose, brinier than I recall from barrel, with lifted blackberry and boysenberry fruit and a touch of balsamic. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, again, very saline in the mouth and slightly granular in texture, with black olive tapenade toward the finish. Quite feisty at the moment, give this three or four years in bottle.
The 2021 Ormes de Pez delivers notes of cassis, pencil shavings and toasty oak, followed by a medium-bodied, suave and polished palate with a nicely concentrated core of fruit framed by tangy acids and sweet, powdery tannins.
