Parker about Château Ormes de Pez 2000
Fully mature, this nice chunky, fleshy wine displays notes of jus de viande, roasted herbs, plum sauce, black currants, and sweet cherries in a medium-bodied, savory, fruit-forward style.

Suckling over Château Ormes de Pez 2000
So youthful now with lots of thick spicy fruit. Still tight but loads going on. Thick and powerful. A little four square. But there. Seriously.

Château Ormes de Pez 2000

The Château Ormes de Pez 2000 is an excellent Bordeaux wine from the Saint-Estèphe appellation, perfectly reflecting the power and elegance of this region's wines. The 2000 vintage, considered exceptional, imbued this wine with a special maturity and finesse. Its color is a deep ruby red with garnet highlights, indicating its maturity and intensity. The bouquet is complex and layered, with dominant aromas of black currants, plums, and cherries, accompanied by subtle notes of cedar, tobacco, leather, and a hint of spice resulting from its aging in oak barrels.
On the palate, the Château Ormes de Pez 2000 presents itself as powerful and well-structured. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated, giving the wine a velvety texture and depth. The dark fruit flavors continue, complemented by secondary aromas of earth, cedarwood, and a subtle mineral note, which are characteristic of Saint-Estèphe wines. The well-balanced acidity lends the wine freshness and vibrancy, while the full body gives it impressive presence and length.
The finish is long and elegant, with a lingering impression of fruitiness and subtle spices. The Château Ormes de Pez 2000 is in an excellent drinking window, but also has the potential to develop further with further ageing. It offers a rich and nuanced drinking experience that impressively showcases the quality and tradition of the Château Ormes de Pez winery.
