The nose on the commendable Ormes-de-Pez has clammed up since tasted out of barrel. Backward, taut, a little leafy with blackberry, cedar, tree bark and a touch of pain grille. Good complexity. The palate if medium-bodied with blackberry, firm tannins, rather foursquare but with superb freshness and harmony. This is a lovely, quintessential Saint Estephe. Drink 2014-2028. Tasted November 2008.
