"Bright, deep red. Red cherry, licorice and coffee on the nose. The palate offers good spicy intensity to the dark berry and cedar flavors. A slight leafiness carries through the moderately persistent finish, which shows building cedar and herbal qualities." -Ian D'Agata

"The 2011 Pedesclaux has a touch of sur-maturité on the nose, fresh prune mixed with the black fruit, as if it is trying a little too hard after the 2010. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet and candied entry, supple ripe tannin with noticeable acidity that just seems a little shrill towards the finish. Not bad, though I find more sophistication in the 2010 Pedesclaux. Tasted March 2016.

"A ripe, plush, modern style, with a ganache note leading the way for crushed plum, blackberry and currant pâte de fruit notes. Lots of briar and anise on the finish lends a grippy feel. Rock-solid. An estate rapidly on the rise."
