18 Rene Gabriel
Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Nicht nur die besonders dunkle Farbe ist auffallend, auch durch das Bouquet! Viel schwarze, reife Pflaumen, Backpflaumen, Teer, Vanillemark, etwas Minziges darin zeigend. Im Gaumen viel Fleisch, tolle Fülle, reife Frucht und eine ziemlich reiche Adstringenz aufweisend, endet superaromatisch mit viel schwarzen Beeren. Der beste Ormes-de-Pez und auch mit einem etwas teureren Preis immer noch ein sensationeller 2009er-Kauf! warten (2016 - 2032)

A big, fruity, hedonistic style of wine, the 2009 Les Ormes de Pez has a dense ruby/purple color, notes of incense and barbecue smoke and oodles of black berry and cassis fruit. It is medium to full-bodied, with silky tannins and low acidity. This attractive, very hedonistic style of wine should drink well for at least a decade
Producer
Château Les Ormes de Pez
Located in the region of Saint-Estèphe, Château Ormes de Pez takes its name from the village where it lies - Pez. The first part of its name can be translated to "elm" which is what decorates its labels. The estate dates back to the 18th century, but was purchased by the Cazes family of Château Lynch Bages in the late 1920s. Its 38 hectares are fairly widely dispersed on different soils with around one-third on gravel and clay, another on gravel and sand and another part on pure gravel which lies close to Tronquoy-Lalande. The vineyards are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (33%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Petit Verdot (2%). In many ways, the wine is produced like Lynch Bages, traditionally yet with some modern techniques enabling the purity of the fruit to remain intact while still retaining the character of its terroir. It is more certainly one of the more sought after wines hailing from Saint-Estèphe as it tends to have notable depth of fruit and age well.
