Critic reviews
"The 2016 Ormes de Pez is deep garnet-purple in color with red and black currants, earth, sage and chargrill on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied, refreshing and chewy with an herbal lift."
Lisa Perrotti-Brown, November 2018, RobertParker.com
"The 2016 Les Ormes de Pez has an open bouquet of red plum, wild strawberry, leather and sous-bois aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, displaying more roundness and softness than its peers, but thankfully harmonious and lightly spiced (Szechuan peppers?) on the finish. Nice persistence here, and probably a more approachable Saint-Estèphe. Returning after 15 minutes, I noticed just a little more leafiness on the finish. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting."

"Ruby red in colour, with cherry pit, sage, rosemary, orange peel, sappy and ready to go. Does exactly what you want it to do, delivering Left Bank, St Estèphe character, unfussy, old school, tasty. In its drinking window. Cazes family owners."
