2009 | Château Les Ormes de Pez | Saint-Estèphe Domaine du Gros Nore wet clay and rainy rocksThe 2009 Les Ormes de Pez has a strange nose at first, a little distant and missing the same fruit intensity as its peers.

Good fruit concentration and grip, just a touch of greenness around the edges with a welcome dash of spice towards the finish. 91 Pts Vinous
