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 garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Pedesclaux has a beguiling perfume of violets, warm cassis, preserved plums and licorice with suggestions of rose hip tea, dark chocolate, kirsch and cinnamon toast. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with vibrant black and red fruits, supported by ripe, finely grained tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and fragrant. Gorgeous wine—bravo!"
