The 2019 Pey La Tour Réserve du Château is classy, elegant and polished, just as it was in barrel. This mid-weight Bordeaux Supérieur opens beautifully in the glass, showing lots of red berry fruit intermingled with scents of forest floor, dried rose petal, herbs, cedar and pipe tobacco. All the elements are very nicely balanced.

This 330-acre Entre-deux-Mers estate has produced a ripe, wood-aged wine. Big tannins and black fruits have a bite of spice and pepper from the high alcohol. That should dissipate as it ages. Drink from 2023.

Freshly picked red summer berry aromas on the nose. Vibrant and fruity. Dense and ripe, juicy and chewy - full-bodied and mouth-filling. Tannins are overwhelming right now, masking most of the fruit. Good juice underneath, though, giving freshness and life so you know it'll age but at the moment tannins are taking hold and there is some astringency. Cooling aspect on the finish. Top cuvée of the estate. 90% Merlot aged 15% in new oak for 12 months, the rest in tank. Entre-deux-Mers, clay with limestone. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend.
