Tasting notes
The 2013 Ormes de Pez has a light and rustic bouquet that feels a bit green and needs more freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly candied entry. This feels a bit chaptalized, oddly Burgundian on the finish. This is muddled compared to Caze's Lynch-Bages. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year On tasting.

Pale crimson. Good triumph of fruit over tannin but it's all a bit light and inconsequential. (JR)
You will find redcurrant and raspberry fruits here, but there is a clear leafy edge, even a touch of pyrazine, and it's one to enjoy now, not to cellar any further. 45% new oak.
The 2013 Les Ormes de Pez has a respectable bouquet with raspberry and wild strawberry scents, a touch of cedar coming through and developing an almost Pauillac-like persona. The palate is a little tinny on the entry, but the mid-palate has respectable weight with more red than black fruit, gently building to a single, peppery finish that cuts away quickly. Still, this represents decent luncheon Claret if nothing more.
