Chateau Ormes de Pez 2019

- 18 Punkte WEINWISSER: "Sattes Purpur mit lila Rand. Verhaltenes zart rauchiges Bouquet mit Anklängen an Heidelbeeren, dahinter Schlehengelee, exotische Hölzer und Eisenkraut. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und mehligem Extrakt, spürbare Muskeln umspannen den durchtrainierten Körper. Im gebündelten Finale schwarzbeerige Konturen gepaart mit spürbarer Terroirwürze und Schattenmorellensaft im Rückaroma. Spitzenleistung! 2026-2042"

- 94 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: „Coming from the Cazes team, the 2019 Château Ormes De Pez is gorgeous and shines in the vintage. Pure crème de cassis, mulberries, leafy herbs, Asian spices, and lead pencil all emerge on the nose, and this medium to full-bodied 2019 has the vintage’s pure, focused, elegant style while staying ripe, supple, and textured. The balance is spot on, and it's going to hit maturity in roughly 8-10 years and have two decades of prime drinking.“

- 93 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: "Plenty of punch in this Ormes de Pez, full of rich ripe black fruits, traces of exotic spices of cinnamon and saffron from the heat of the summer, and brilliant value if looking for personality and appellation signature in St Estèphe. Blend completed with 3% Petit Verdot. Drinking Window 2024 – 2038"

- 93 Punkte James Suckling: „This shows lots of spice, such as cloves and nutmeg, together with dark berries and cherries and some plums. It’s structured and relatively dense, with lovely length and beauty. Needs time to open and come together. 50% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon with cabernet franc and petit verdot. Lovely now.“ Try after 2024.

- 93 Punkte Wine Enthusiast:, Roger Voss: “ Big and full of tannins and structure, this is packed with dark fruits with a dry core. The wine's weight is impressive, density and richness. Drink from 2026.“

- 93 Punkte Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider: „The wine has picked up steam during the aging process. Now you find notes of flowers, peppery red fruits, cocoa, tobacco leaf, cedar and spice. The wine is fresh, lush, round and ripe, with a rich, creamy, dark red fruit packed mid-palate. This is clearly the best vintage of Ormes-de-Pez ever produced. Drink from 2024-2040.“

- 92 Punkte VINOUS, Neal Martin: "The 2019 Ormes de Pez has an intense bouquet of blackberry, bilberry and a touch of hosin, but None of the smoky Elements that I commented upon from the Barrel sample last year. Nicely delineated and certainly less rustic than past vintages. The palate is finesy tuned with a touch of bitter cherry on the entry, quite peppery, and a Little stricter than I expected at the Moment, leading to a granular, almost truffly finish.  One of the best Ormes de Pez that I have tasted in recent years. 2025-2055"

- 92 Punkte Wine Review Online: „A deep ruby color in the glass portends the deep black fruits wafting therefrom — black cherries, blackberries, and black plums, complimented by coarse mulch and leather. On the palate, fruit and earth meet again, with flavors of cherries and slate fading into a lingering bittersweet chocolate finish. Fine grained tannins provide structure while managing to be strikingly approachable, even at only a few years of age. Ormes de Pez represents an affordable entry point to the esteemed Saint-Estephe appellation that well out-drinks its price.“

- 91-93 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: "The 2019 Ormes de Pez is ample and creamy, with a real sense of resonance that emerges with a bit of time in the glass. Inky dark fruit, leather, licorice and scorched earth are nicely pushed forward here. A wine of depth and power, Ormes de Pez is very nicely done."
