Château Pesquié Quintessence 2021

Tasted out of bottle, the 2021 Ventoux Quintessence is a rock-solid 2021 offering ripe black fruit as well as some classic Syrah smoky game, pepper, and assorted meaty, chocolaty nuances. It’s rich, medium-bodied, has plenty of tannins, and outstanding length. Score – 91. (jebdunnuck.com, Oct. 30, 2023)
