Château de Pez
Château de Pez 2009
Wine Spectator - James Molesworth - March 31, 2012
89 Points "Offers sleek raspberry and red currant fruit, supported by smoked apple wood and dark tobacco notes that are backed by a long, taut, chalky spine on the finish. In the austere camp, but with a solid core."
Wine Enthusiast - Roger Voss - February 2012
93 Points "With layers of wood, this is a structured wine, driven as much by tannins as fruit. It will need time for the dark plum fruit flavors to come through—St.-Estèphe is always likely to be firmly textured."
Wine Journal - Neal Martin - December 19, 2011
91 Points "The Chateau de Pez has a very tight bouquet with blackberry, cassis and a touch of crushed stone... The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, racy acidity, red rather than black fruits (wild strawberry and a touch of raspberry.) Nicely focused towards the finish, perhaps more like Montrose in style in terms of its clarity and poise. This is very fine."

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - Ian D'Agata - May 2010
90-93 Points "Dark ruby-red. Highly fragrant and enticing red berry and smoky mineral aromas. Like a cocktail of red fruits on the palate (red cherry, strawberry, plum), complicated by spices and minerals, with harmonious acids providing excellent lift and definition. Utterly charming due to its very ripe fruit, yet comes across as light and lively, finishing layered, smooth and long, with noble tannins. Probably the best de Pez made since the outstanding 1966."

eRobertParker.com - Neal Martin - April 06, 2009
89-91 points "The palate [has]... saturated black fruits on the entry, a touch of spice, thick tannins, nice weight in the mouth, but strict on the finish with a touch of tar and black pepper. Nice length. Good potential."
The Wine Advocate - Robert Parker - April 2009
90-92 points "A big time sleeper of the vintage, this may be the finest De Pez produced in over 40 years. ...A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by dense creme de cassis, cedarwood, and earth characteristics, a plush, full-bodied texture, superb concentration and purity, and sweet tannins."
