Critical Acclaim

94 Wine Enthusiast

The aromas of toast, black spice and juicy blackberries are sustained by this structured wine. Its texture shows concentration and dark tannins. The wine’s density and concentration are impressive. Drink from 2028.

93 James Suckling

Mineral, iron, fine cassis and cocoa powder on the nose. This is very well-textured on the palate, showing elegance and refinement with a medium body and a linear, juicy finish. Delicious now, but can hold, too.

92 Vinous

Juicy and lively, bright and vibrant with a crisp texture to the red berry fruit with creamy sides and a hint of graphite and wet stone underneath. It loses some oomph and impact towards the finish just tapering out but the initial expression was nice and it ends with a cool note. Might need some more time or might just need to be enjoyed in its youth for a light, delicate but fruit-forward style.

90 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The 2021 de Pez offers up aromas of sweet blackberries, cherries, pencil shavings and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that’s supple, suave and seamless. This attractively balanced, charming wine will drink well on release.
