Bordeaux, France

The quality of the 2009 Château de Pez is evident right off the first nosing - wood is abundant but high quality, fruit is dense, dark and ripe, with complexity well above the average. The palate is fullish, rich and structured, balanced and poised, with terrific length. This is a fine 2009 left bank Bordeaux that should be drinking well in the next 3-5 years, and hold until the end of the '20s without a stretch. Score: 93 (John Szabo, MS, www.WineAlign.com, Jan 2013)
