Château de Pez 2014

The 2014 de Pez is a powerful, dense, richly textured wine. Graphite, smoke, licorice, lavender and a host of dark-fleshed fruit notes abound. The 2014 offers striking depth, with more than enough underpinning of structure to support a number of years of fine drinking. The blend is 56 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 41 % Merlot and 3 % Petit Verdot. The 2014 is a gorgeous wine, and a sleeper for the year. Drinking window: 2019-2029. Score – 92. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Feb. 2, 2017)
