The 2011 Les Ormes de Pez has an impressive bouquet, beautifully defined, not intense but precise, earthy black fruit mixed with tar and freshly rolled tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. Exquisite balance, not complex, but so much freshness with the most tension revealed on the finish. This was a bit of a turn up for the books and trumped some of Saint-Estèphe's more auspicious residents. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting Score: 92 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2022-2036 01 September 2021 |

Finely expressed cassis fruit, slightly leathery and firm, good ripe middle palate and will show well. (16+ points) Score: 16 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2014-2022 16 April 2012 |

This has crunchy acidity, with herb-inflected plum, currant and cherry pit notes. Lots of aromas swirling here, with brisk length. Score: 89 - 92 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 11 April 2012 |

The wine shows very pretty fruit with spices and milk chocolate. Full body, with velvety tannins and an attractive finish. Score: 90 - 91 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 01 April 2012 |
