Chateau Ormes de Pez St. Estephe 2019

Jeb Dunnuck : 94 Points

(04/11/2022) Coming from the Cazes team, the 2019 Chateau Ormes De Pez is gorgeous and shines in the vintage. Pure creme de cassis, mulberries, leafy herbs, Asian spices, and lead pencil all emerge on the nose, and this medium to full-bodied 2019 has the vintage’s pure, focused, elegant style while staying ripe, supple, and textured. The balance is spot on, and it's going to hit maturity in roughly 8-10 years and have two decades of prime drinking.

(2/20/2022) This shows lots of spice, such as cloves and nutmeg, together with dark berries and cherries and some plums. It’s structured and relatively dense, with lovely length and beauty. Needs time to open and come together. 50% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon with cabernet franc and petit verdot. Lovely now. Try after 2024.
