The 2021 Château de Pez has a very pure bouquet with blackberry, briar and light loamy aromas. This has gained delineation since I tasted it from barrel. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh, with fine-grained tannins and a Pauillac-like seam of graphite from start to finish, leading to a precise close that is very pleasing. This shows melioration in recent months and it will give a couple of decades’ drinking pleasure.
The 2021 de Pez has turned out well. It offers up a classic Saint-Estèphe profile of dried herbs, flowers, mint, scorched earth and dark, red-toned fruit. Medium in body yet quite deep, the 2021 possesses fine depth and tons of character. It's a terrific achievement in this challenging year.
The 2021 de Pez offers up aromas of sweet blackberries, cherries, pencil shavings and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's supple, suave and seamless. This attractively balanced, charming wine will drink well on release.
