Château de Pez, 1998, Saint-Estèphe, France

At 23 years old this wine from Chateau de Pez shows what excellent wine that France can produce, rather than the bulk wines that so many people only drink. At £50 a bottle its not cheap but excellent,

Its a bold, dry wine with decent well integrated tannins that make you want to sip and take your time when drinking. aromas and flavours of black fruits, oak, cedar, leather and a hint of smoke this is a grown ups wine. Trully excellent.
