2018 CHÂTEAU PÉDESCLAUX (SUBSKRIPTION)

James Suckling: 94-95/100 Punkte
»Very long and straight with a beautiful, fine line of ripe and compressed tannins. Medium-to full-bodied and tight and fresh on the finish. Beautiful cabernet sauvignon is driving this one.«

Falstaff: 94/100 Punkte
»Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feiner floraler Touch, dunkle Beeren, ein Hauch von Cassis, dezente Kräuterwürze, Orangenzesten. Saftig, angenehme Extraktsüße, elegant, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch-saliner Nachhall, schwarze Kirschen im Nachhall, gutes Potenzial.« 

Decanter: 93/100 Punkte
»These guys have really started to make an impact on Pauillac's landscape over the past few vintages and do so again here. It’s not quite up to the brilliant delivery of 2016, but this is firm, vibrant, bright and full of promise with tannins that layer up slowly and stealthily then present you with a cheque. There is clear austerity on the attack but then it opens up to show purity and precision of the fruit, with a sweetness to the berries making it seem likely that seven or eight years will be plenty before this is limbered and ready to go. Drinking Window 2025 - 2038« 

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 92-94/100 Punkte
»Pédesclaux was purchased in late 2009 by real estate mogul, Jacky Lorenzetti. In addition to the purchase of Pédesclaux and its 26 hectares of vineyards, Lorenzetti was also able to acquire an additional 12 hectares of vineyards planted at 10,000 vines per hectare that sit atop the Milon plateau (their rows are interspersed with those of Mouton and Lafite). The total vineyard acreage in 2018 was 49.7 hectares with an average vine age of 35 years. The soils are typically gravelly atop a clay subsoil. It will spend an estimated 16 months on the lees in barrels, 60% new and 40% second year. The blend is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, and it has 13.96% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Pedesclaux comes charging out of the gate with rambunctious baked plums, warm cassis and Morello cherries scents plus hints of spice cake, menthol and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits and spicy accents, with a soft, fine-grained frame, finishing long.«

Wine Spectator: 89-92/100 Punkte
»On the lighter side, but fresh and focused, featuring cassis and bitter cherry notes, lined with subtle iron and floral hints. The finish is tightly focused.«

Vinum: 17/20 Punkte
»Voller, saftiger Bau, Klassetannin, gute Länge, fruchtiges Finale von Beerengelee; macht Spass. 2026 bis 2035«
