Neal Martin
The 2015 Les Ormes de Pez is a blend of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot that is being matured in 45% new oak. It has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry and bilberry fruit, although compared to recent vintages, it does not quite possess the same fruit intensity, feels just a little muted at this stage. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, nicely balanced though a little angular at the moment. It needs just a bit more fruit to fill out the final third. Give this 4-5 years of bottle age and you will have a decent, if not top-tier Les Ormes de Pez. 87-89 points

Good crunchy fruit that is more polished than in the past. A classic, harmonious and modern wine. 90 points

This doesn’t have the structure of some vintages - no bad thing for people who find St. Estèphe a little chewy - but it’s soft, spicy and plummy with attractive oak and good texture on the palate. Drink. 2020-26 91 points
