Saint-Estephe

Precise, with balance and depth of flavour, white pepper spice laced through fleshy red and blue fruits on the openng, and there are floral aromatics. All in all, this starts out confidently, but the acidity of the vintage adds more rusticity to the tannins on the close of play than in the recent exceptional vintages at de Pez. Skilful winemaing, but impacted by the vintage. 27hl/h yield. Tasted twice, new cellar since 2021. 3.6 pH. 50% new oak.

Inside Bordeaux

Deep garnet-purple colored. Features notes of red currant preserves and fresh blackberries, leading to hints of dried herbs, pencil shavings, and tree bark. The light-bodied palate is lively and chewy with just enough mid-palate black fruit and savory layers, finishing chalky.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 de Pez strolls out with casual scents of blackcurrants and red cherries plus wafts of mint tea, cedar, and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate is soft and lively, with just enough fruit and an herbal lift on the finish. The blend is 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, with pH 3.6.

The 2022 de Pez, a blend of 59% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, is deep garnet-purple in color. Notions of baked black plums, blueberry preserves, and fruitcake jump from the glass, followed by hints of Chinese five spice and potpourri. The full-bodied palate is packed with black fruit preserves layers, supported by firm, rounded tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and lifted. It will be aged for 18 months in 50% new oak. pH 3.8.

Bright and vivid raspberry and red cherry fruit character, good lift through the finish, coupled with the savoury sage and tomato leaf edging that is typical of the vintage. Skilfully delivered, with a grilled oak finish, plenty of polish, and a great option for early to medium drinking over next five to 10 years. Nicolas Glumineau director.

Sommelier

Expert

Halvflaske. Bjørnebær, blåbær og plommer, lær, tobakk, treverk, blomster og en grusete mineralitet. Pen nese der sekundære og tertiære aromaer begynner å kreve sin plass ovenfor polert toppfrukt (53M/42CS/3PV/2CF). Balansert og veldig ryddig gjennom hele drikkekurven. God konsentrasjon, finkornede tanniner som fremdeles har et godt bitt og utgang med god lengde. Flott vin fra en god årgang som virkelig overpresterer sett opp mot pris - 200 kr for en halvflaske er et røverkjøp. Dette har ennå mer å gå på! 

WSET 2

Good quality, lovely juice and freshness, enjoyable with grip, delicate slow build, slate tannins, well textured and carefully extracted blueberry, damson and smoked earth. Nicolas Glumineau director.

Enjoyable, black fruit, tannic grip, the fresh acidities mean this is not as supple as many in this line up but there is plenty of concentration to get stuck into here. Pencil lead and dark chocolate add appellation signature.

Middels rød farge. Solbær, plomme og blyantspiss på duft og smak. Rik, utviklet og flott vin med lang flott ettersmak. Server fra store glass.
