Tasting note: A sleeper of the vintage and the best Les Ormes de Pez made in decades, this opaque purple-hued 2009 offers up pure creme de cassis fruit intermixed with hints of charcoal, smoke, and crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied and pure with good freshness as well as a soft, layered mouthfeel, it will offer delicious drinking over the next 10-15 years. (88-90pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: Apr. 2010
Score: 88-90pts.
Drink: 2010-25

Tasting note: Since 2003, the new label is "Ormes de Pez" rather than "Les Ormes de Pez". Lovely dark, intense color. Lovely, fruity, ripe and creamy nose. Wide, rather pulpy, smooth and very flavorful on the palate; this wine develops aromatic and full, with a slightly firm finish that will melt with aging. It is very good. Note that since 2006 this estate has the same wine-producing care given to Lynch-Bages. Petit Verdot is part of its blend since 2007 and a generic wine exists since 2006. (88pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)

Tasting note: Superb concentration, with spice, currant and berry character. Full and velvety. So long. At same quality level as the legendary 1955, or 1959. (92-95pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
