  1. Château Pédesclaux Fleur de Pédesclaux Pauillac 2022

    Dark purple in color with a reddish rim.

    Fruity nose of blueberries, plums, cherries, light oak and chocolate notes.

    Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

    Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, black plums, light oak, cherries, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.

    Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

    This is a tasty Merlot based Bordeaux blend from Pauillac. Easy drinking and nicely balanced. Spicy and entertaining.

    Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and elegant.

    Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

    Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

    A good food wine.

    A blend of 49% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. Aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months.

    14% alcohol by volume.

    90 points.

    $32.
