Ormes de Pez goes from strength to strength, and this 2021 is a juicy and harmonious wine with bright, focussed fruit and a Merlot-led flavour of plums and mulberries. The Cabernets and Petit Verdot back up the Merlot attack giving this wine more depth and length than expected. I also anticipate it drinking well in its youth, so this is a joyous success in 2021. 17

Managed by the team at Lynch-Bages, the 2021 Château Ormes De Pez comes from a 40-hectare vineyard in Saint-Estèphe. Medium to full-bodied, it has ripe tannins, good depth of fruit, and classic notes of darker fruits, loamy earth, tobacco leaf, and chalky minerality.

It is not easy to achieve this level of intensity, with an IPT of 80 and alcohol level of 13.13%, in 2021. This shows that the winery has been very strict in controlling fruit quality. Accompanied by the round body and delicately powdery tannins, the signature spicy black pepper and refreshing cedar notes of Cabernet Sauvignon cling tightly to the fragrance of ripe berry fruits, carrying through till the end. ???2021??????????????(IPT:80;13.13%),??????????????????????????????????????????????,??????????????????????

Medium-bodied, the wine is fresh, juicy, sweet and vibrant with a complex finish loaded with round-textured, herbs, black raspberries, menthol and plums that last through to the endnote. Drink from 2024-2043. 90-92

The 2021 Ormes de Pez is matured in 45% new oak. This has a fragrant nose, very well defined, in fact, perhaps more sophisticated than the Haut-Batailley at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, a little powdery in texture, touches of graphite towards the almost Pauillac-like finish. A stylish Saint-Estèphe, this is recommended. 13.13% alcohol.

Assemblages réalisés. Un bouquet très cerise noire, mure, légèrement violette avec une touche d'iris. Très élégant tout en étant gourmand. Bouche dense, tannique mais sans lourdeur et une belle assise traçante et délicate. Un joli vin en devenir. Très charmeur.

The 2021 Ormes de Pez exhibits aromas of cassis, licorice, warm spices and toasty new oak, followed by a medium-bodied, lively and nicely concentrated palate built around rich, powdery tannins that will round out with further maturation in barrel. Produced by the Cazes family of Château Lynch-Bages, it shows promise.
