The combination of ripeness, lightness and harmonious dryness makes this an attractive wine that's very food friendly. I love the smooth dryness of the finish. If this was a bit deeper it would have rated much higher. Drink or hold. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019) - Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, March 2019

The 2009 Les Ormes de Pez has a strange nose at first, a little distant and missing the same fruit intensity as its peers. There is a slight dustiness here that translates over the palate. Good fruit concentration and grip, just a touch of greenness around the edges with a welcome dash of spice towards the finish. Thoroughly enjoyable if just missing some finesse. - vinous.com, March 2019

A big, fruity, hedonistic style of wine, the 2009 Les Ormes de Pez has a dense ruby/purple color, notes of incense and barbecue smoke and oodles of black berry and cassis fruit. It is medium to full-bodied, with silky tannins and low acidity. This attractive, very hedonistic style of wine should drink well for at least a decade.

[54CS/37M/7CF/2PV] Dense, slightly raw, oaky nose; medium to full bodied, concentrated wine with a clear St Estèphe sinew, but no coarseness, and a very fresh delineation; most attractive ripe fruit heart, elegant for its appellation and level, long and fine across the palate, quite rich and plush within the frame and with excellent fruit persistence. Very nice indeed. 2014-22
