Plenty of spice and plums on the nose. Full body, round tannins and flavorful finish. Raspberries and hazelnuts at the end.

A good choice in the St Emilion grand cru range, confident tannins that are well balanced by equally confident blackberry and black cherry fruits, and a slate finish that keeps things tight and controlled. Lots of old vines in the vineyard here, some right back to early 20th century, make this well able to withstand the summer heat. Same owner as La Rousselle in Fronsac, Enzo Ide, with Stéphane Derenoncourt as consultant. Drinking Window 2025 - 2040

The 2019 Ormes de Pez is ample and creamy, with a real sense of resonance that emerges with a bit of time in the glass. Inky dark fruit, leather, licorice and scorched earth are nicely pushed forward here. A wine of depth and power, Ormes de Pez is very nicely done.
The 2019 Ormes de Pez has an intense bouquet of blackberry, bilberry, pencil box and light fumé aromas, nicely defined but demanding encouragement from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, pliant tannins almost unrecognizable from the somewhat sturdy offerings in the past. It feels seductively smooth in texture with a very satisfying, detailed finish. One of the best Ormes de Pez that I have tasted in recent years.
