Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Aromas of sweet cherries, berries and spices framed by creamy new oak, introduce the 2020 Ormes de Pez, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's polished and seamless, with a generous core of fruit and an extroverted, charming profile."  Drink 2023-2040

91/100 points, William Kelley, WINE ADVOCATE

"Nuances of smoke, chocolate and spice along with a bushel of ripe blackberries and currants offer up their fragrance with no effort. On the palate, the wine is even better with its layers of ripe, sweet, creamy, black and red fruits, olives and cocoa that hold your interest. This is going to be delicious with only a modicum of aging."

92/100 points, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, March 2023
