Château Ormes de Pez 1999

Château Ormes de Pez 1999 is a remarkable Bordeaux wine from the Saint-Estèphe appellation, known for its robust structure and depth of flavor. The 1999 vintage is one of the solid vintages of the 1990s, offering wines with excellent aging potential and elegant balance.
The wine displays a deep, dark ruby red color with garnet reflections, indicating good ageing. The bouquet is complex and seductive, with aromas of ripe blackcurrants, blackberries, and plums, accompanied by classic Saint-Estèphe notes such as cedarwood, tobacco, and a hint of leather. Aging in oak barrels has imparted additional nuances of roasted coffee, vanilla, and delicate spices, making the wine even more complex.
On the palate, Château Ormes de Pez 1999 is full-bodied and well-structured, with ripe, smooth tannins that give the wine an elegant texture and good aging potential. The fruit flavors are concentrated and harmonious, supported by a lively acidity that offers freshness and balance. Notes of dark chocolate, dried herbs, and subtle mineral hints add further layers of complexity.
The finish is long and persistent, with a beautiful combination of ripe fruit and spice notes that gently envelop the palate. The 1999 vintage is now in its optimal drinking window, but can continue to mature and develop to reveal additional nuances.
Château Ormes de Pez 1999 is a high-quality wine that convincingly showcases the strength and complexity of Saint-Estèphe. It is ideal for special occasions or as a companion to hearty dishes such as lamb, beef, or aged cheeses, offering a balanced and appealing drinking experience for lovers of classic Bordeaux wines.
