18 Rene Gabriel
Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Warmes Bouquet, Dörrfrüchte, Malaganoten, Pumpernickel und Rauch. Samtener Gaumen mit viel Fülle und einer Fortsetzung von durchaus schwarzbeerigen Eindrücken. Toller Wein - leider durch Hagel eine kleinere Ernte. Zwei Mal verkostet. (18/20). 12: Recht dunkles Granat. Intensives, spontan ansprechendes Bouquet, da ist viel Aroma und eben so viel Kraft drin, tiefschürfend mit schwarzen Beeren. Im Gaumen mit einer gewissen Trockenheit im Extrakt, das wird aber durch dunkles Malz wieder ausgeglichen, endet mit Lakritze und Brazil-Tabak. Tolle Leistung, empfehlenswerter Kauf! warten (2019 - 2036)

Really vibrant, with lovely notes of plum, violet and cherry preserves laced with chalky cut that stretches out the finish. Very, very solid. J.M.

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Ormes de Pez slips sensuously from the glass with seductive blackberry pie, Black Forest cake and kirsch scents plus nuances of candied violets, hoisin, dark chocolate and licorice. Full-bodied, rich and plush in the mouth, it has a fantastic line of freshness lifting all the decadent fruit to a long, energy-sparked finish.
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.
