Ripe berries, plums, spice and cedar aromas follow through to a medium body, creamy tannins and a delicious finish. Some nice acidity here too. Thyme character to the fruit at the end. Try after 2024. Rating: 92 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (May 2023)

The 2020 de Pez is a potent, brooding wine, just as it was en primeur. Black cherry, gravel, tobacco, scorched earth, chocolate and menthol all flesh out in the glass. This is a pretty rich, heady Saint-Estèphe, punctuated by huge tannins and quite a bit of heft. Drinking range: 2027 - 2040 Rating: 93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2023)
Supple, easy to approach, muscular tannins that showcase the unfussy heft of St Estèphe, covered in black chocolate and pencil lead. Plenty of black fruits also, another confirmation now the wines are in bottle that St Estèphe has done well in 2020. 45% new oak. Drinking range: 2024 - 2034 Rating: 92 Jane Anson, Decanter (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Château de Pez has a far superior bouquet than the Deuxième Vin, with blackberry and mulberry, pressed violet and then peony. The palate is medium-bodied with firm and quite saturated tannins. Fine backbone here, fresh and saline with a vibrant finish. Maybe not the most persistent Saint-Estèphe yet there is impressive weight. Drinking range: 2027 - 2045 Rating: 93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2023)
