Clearance Chateau Pedesclaux, Pauillac, Bordeaux, France, 2018 Risk-free Trial [GimIUPdE]

Pedesclaux is one of the great Pauillac estates and they are affordable. Back in the 1980's Robert Parker said 'life is too short to ever drink a Pedesclaux'. Radical and positive changes have taken place with the estate since it was taken over by the Racing 92 owner, Francoise Lorenzetti in 2009.

"Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Pedesclaux charges out of the gate with energetic notes of crushed blackberries, black raspberries and ripe blackcurrants, followed by suggestions of menthol, aniseed, violets and cedar chest. The medium-bodied palate quivers with vibrant, crunchy black and red berries layers, framed by firm, ripe tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and deliciously savory."
