We wanted to bring the “apéro dinatoire” with a decent bottle to a friend’s house today and this was the only thing that spoke to me in the closest wine shop we could find. In retrospect, I should have gone to the Bollinger La Grande Année 2012 that was also on the shelf…
2015 Château de Pez- France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe (6/23/2022)
Other TNs seem pretty good so I’m hoping that this was an off bottle or in a dumb phase. Nose is showing graphite, cedar and very little fruit. Rather muted not much to talk about. The palate is dull: hollow mid-palate and again, very little fruit. Some cassis and blackberry if you really look for it. Powdery tannins and medium acidity. Short finish. I’m hoping I got a bad apple but there wasn’t enough of anything to make me look for this again.
