Chateau Les Ormes de Pez 1996

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (86)

A potential sleeper of the vintage, this wine exhibits a saturated dark ruby color, and an excellent blackberry and cassis-scented nose with smoky oak in the background. It is sweet, opulently-textured, surprisingly accessible and round, with an excellent finish. This is one of the finest wines from Les Ormes des Pez over recent years.

Winespectator (89)

Dark-colored, with good berry and mint aromas and hints of fresh tea leaves. Full-bodied and chewy, with serious concentration of ripe tannins and a medium finish. Needs but a bit more fruit intensity to be outstanding.
