CRITIC REVIEWS
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
This is a soft, consumer-friendly style of wine from Les Ormes de Pez from the Cazes family, who have done so much for the village of Pauillac and their own wines, such as Lynch-Bages. They have turned out a luscious, dark ruby/purple wine with sweet cassis fruit, an uncomplicated, medium-bodied mouthfeel and very velvety tannin. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2012 Ormes de Pez bursts with open-knit black cherry compote and eucalyptus scents, followed by wafts of blackcurrant cordial, unsmoked cigar, and dusty soil. Medium-bodied, the palate is chock full of minty black fruits with savory accents and a chewy texture, finishing spicy. Mature now, it is time to drink up.
