2015 Château Pédesclaux, Pauillac, Bordeaux

The first thing that is immediately obvious when visiting Ch. Pedesclaux is that things have changed! The difference in the glass is remarkable, with a deep blackcurrant nose that is powerful, rich, and harmonious. The palate demonstrates that they have been able to harvest at the perfect time, with blackcurrant fruit having the perfect fresh edge in the form of very fine tannin and juicy, fresh acidity. There is a touch of spice to round things off that hints at the complexity that will undoubtedly develop over the coming 20 years.
