Château Pédesclaux
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend
Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.
Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and complex.
Showing red cherries, currants, black plums, light oak, spices, herbs, earth, chocolates, licorice and peppercorn.
Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Pauillac. Spicy and fruity. Smooth and elegant, with good structure and balance.
This 10 year old still feels young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
Robert Parker 90 points.
I had a few different vintages of this wine and it is very consistent, and much better with age.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will pair nicely with food too.
A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. Aged in (60% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

A blend of 48% Cab Sauv, 45% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot & 3% Cab Franc. Deep Ruby with purple edges. Aromas of red fruits and flinty notes. On the palate of this youthful wine flavors of raspberry, cherry & black currants with hints of tobacco & cacao. Fine tannins, lingering ending with fruit and earthy mineral character. Nice!

Picked this up at Costco mostly because I was curious. In my opinion, this seemed bit heavy on the oak treatment but it would be popular with fans of the style. Good in its own or with hearty food.

Inky purple with brilliant tint. Youthful and compact rim.
Quite a contrast from the softer 2014, this shows a Cabernet-based character with dark cherry, blackcurrant, boysenberry, and leafy freshness on the bouquet.
The palate is certainly more interesting, a step up from the 2014. Red cherry, raspberry, red currant lifted by slightly minty freshness and baking spices while smoky hazelnut keeps it interesting.
Very commendable effort but I really wish they dialed down on Merlot in the final blend. 89+
