Château Ormes de Pez 2018 – Saint-Estèphe

The nose is aromatic, racy, well-built and offers power as well as a small intensity. It reveals notes of small wild red berries, wild strawberry and small notes of Sichuan pepper associated with touches of blackberry, liquorice stick as well as hints of spices, a hint of exotic spices and a very discreet/imperceptible hint of cocoa. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy and offers a beautiful definition, juiciness, minerality as well as gourmandize, a fine acidulous frame, a small freshness and a small density. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, bright cherry and small notes of small juicy/fresh red berries associated with small touches of racy minerality, spices, rose, violet as well as hints of spices and a very discreet hint of cocoa/vanilla. Tannins are precise. Good length.
