Chateau Pedesclaux 5eme Cru Classe, Pauillac

Like last note. Some pencil tip even. Quite nice, good qpr

2017 vintage

Very high volatile acidity and not much else left; not really drinkable for pleasure and no improvement with a couple of hours of air.

1947 vintage

65 CS, 25 Merlot, 7 CF, 3 PV Ruby hue, but not the darkest Bordeaux blend. Silky and elegant, good concentration both on nose and palate with aromas of cassis, plum, graphite, dark chocolate, leather, oak and a slight fresh hint of mint. Full bodied, silky M tannins, M acidity and lingering long finish.

2017 vintage

This delivers good quality without being flashy. Currants, cherries and more exotic fruits mingle with new leather, smoke and pencil shavings. A value pick.

2017 vintage

Primary red berry fruits, cherry, apricot, and not too much oak. The tannins are powdery, there's acidity to balance, and a cooling menthol-like finish. Have not tried many 2017s, but I much enjoyed the liveliness and freshness. Not sure how this will develop but worth a look in the moment.

2017 vintage

Drank this tonight and it was definitely ready. Nice nose, black cherry, cassis, cedar, black tea. Very silky, plush, black cherry, cassis, black tea, not very tannic. Lacking in acidity for my palate

2017 vintage

Really kind of surprised and impressed! First Pauillac in quite some time, first Pedesclaux, and first 2017. Really nice red fruit notes with some sharp graphite, but the point of impression was just how much underlying body there was. Just enough acidity to keep it fresh, but there really seemed to be this quiet, ruminative body that contained some savory notes and tannic structure. Went well with our beef daube (with bacon, rosemary, thyme, parsnips, shallots, garlic, and onion) and …

2017 vintage

Nice black fruit on nose. Wine is decent. Tannins are there. Needs time.

2017 vintage

Might have been a bit too old. Decanted for about an hour. Very nice on the nose but a bit watery on the palate with very little depth.

2013 vintage

Dark red color, Very fruity on the nose with smell of ripe cherry, spices and currant. The taste is rather bold with hint of blanck current, ripe cherry. It is dry and bold with very present tannins. Nice long finish for a wine that is wery well made. I have a few more bottle that is will age a few more years.

2017 vintage

Quite well-balanced young Bordeaux. Showing some maturity already. Dark berries, smooth. Not overly dominated by blackcurrants. Nice but not fantastic.

2017 vintage

Blev dekanteret et par timer i forvejen. Vinen havde åbnet sig- mørk, fyldig og lang eftersmag. Brombær, cedertræ.

2017 vintage

2017 blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Deep ruby color. Cassis, pencil lead, oak, licorice, some vanilla and warm spice on the nose. Medium-bodied. Blackcurrant, plum, blackberry with hints of stone minerals and iron on the palate. Medium+ tannins and acidity. A bit bone dry finish. Delicious now, can develop more or to keep 5-10 years.

2017 vintage

Fully integrated, no fruit, film of joy. 2/3 of these have been great; one bad.

1983 vintage

Not the best example of a Bordeaux. It never opens up. The acid is high and the taste is back of tongue No fruit, no forest, no aroma. Not a bad wine by any means; have it with a steak or chop, but not a typical Bordeaux from Pauillac. There are better.

2017 vintage

A pleasant surprise for a 2017 Bordeaux. Very smooth from start to finish, just a slight turn to acidity in the finish. Ripe fruits, few and well integrated tannins. On the other hand, not a complex wine. Decanted 5h before drinking.

2017 vintage

Very much enjoyed

2017 vintage

Not as good as last bottle - thin and past it

1983 vintage

Terrific old Bordeaux . And cheap! If you can find it. Old Bordeaux is just the beesnees.

1983 vintage

Deep ruby with purple rims, full bodied and strong tannins. Way too young to be fully appreciated. Black currants, tobacco leaf, licorice and cedar aromas.

2017 vintage

zu spät. dünn, saure rote Johannisbeere

1992 vintage

I think that is corked.

2017 vintage

Tasted on a Zoom function organised through BBR, with Jane Anson, Medium ruby. Dark fruits, plums blackberries, this is really good wine. I haven’t got any in the cellar, but after tonight’s tasting I will buy some.

2017 vintage

The nose pops with black currant, tobacco leaf, licorice, cedar and forestry aromatics. On the palate, the wine displays freshness in the fruits and cream on the tannins. Medium/full bodied with a lot of black and red fruits, which carry through to the endnotes, this has both charm and age ability. The higher percentage of Cabernet adds complexity and character to the wine. Made from blending 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the wine …

IMW Bordeaux Tasting - 2013 Vintage (Hyatt, San Francisco) : Underripe fruit on the nose - like a bad Malbec. Riper palate than I expected, with some cassis and lots of ripe bell pepper. Tannic.

2013 vintage

(Decanter FWE 2016) :: A lot of leather and mocha on the nose, with a dark fruit core and fairly linear expression. On the palate, drying tannin, a bit thin and touch tart. Meh.

2013 vintage

Medium bodied and meant for early drinking, the wine is fresh, with a red berry, cedar and cherry tobacco character that carries through.

2013 vintage

From 48% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the wine reached 12.96% alcohol. Cassis, earth and cherry aromas are accompanied by a medium-bodied wine with a spicy black cherry and herb profile that should be fun to taste early. 87-89 Pts
