critic reviews

87/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 1998 Les Ormes de Pez remains quite deep in colour with just thin bricking on the rim. The nose is mature with blackberry, briary, scorched earth and leather aromas, perhaps missing the definition of recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, edgy red berry fruit with an attenuated soy-tinged finish that suggests that this should be consumed in the near future. Tasted at the château.

87/100Robert Parker,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A successful effort, as well as a reasonably good value, this dark ruby/purple-colored 1998 exhibits copious quantities of cassis fruit along with earthy, underbrush notes. Medium to full-bodied, with fine concentration, excellent texture, and a soft, spicy, peppery finish, it will drink well for 10-12 years.
