Château Ormes de Pez
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend
From a mag. Short decant for sediment. Nose of cassis, green pepper and tobacco and consistent on the palate. Medium plus length finish with more black fruit and some cedar. Fully resolved tannins, moderate ABV and medium plus acidity. Nice example of this wine. Drink now especially if you have any in 750. — 8 years ago
Château Bellefont-Belcier
Grand Cru Classe St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
PnP. Drinking nicely and in its window. Black fruit, tar and tobacco nose, more black fruit on the palate along with cigar box, some herbs and maybe a spot of blood. A bit disappointed in the finish that turns somewhat tart and is short. Medium acidity, mostly resolved tannins and reasonable ABV. Nice wine for a heatwave vintage and for one that could be found as low as $25. — 8 years ago
