May 24, 2024 - Really good drinking early, good fruit and balance.
May 24, 2024 - Servged blind, Rich, smooth, creamy, full bodied but quite polished; has a sound vertival, vere, very well made for the vintage. Not as suavage tonight, as I often find these wines (and like), but the balance is perfect.

May 4, 2024 - May The 4th!!!
On this raining Sundayl afternoon in Sydney, Australia and I am enjoying this wonderful wine purchased at the domaine… Pegau Reserve.
The 2020 is a full-bodied wine that is well balanced with a long finish… a minute plus.
A CDP wine that doesn’t need to change!
January 18, 2024 - Delicious as ti goes.
January 3, 2024 - New Years Eve selection and with a dynamite citrus braised pulled pork with crispy shallots (shameless plug for the chef) a match made heaven. Large-ish but not over the top, lots of classic CdP characteristics that shined with the pork.
December 23, 2023 - The wine is medium ruby with garnet rim.
On the nose, initially it has some farmyard notes, but shortly hides to the back after sitting in the glass for 20min. It presents beautiful red roses, bush/mediterranian herbs, pungent spices, red strawberry, 螺蛳粉酸笋. It's developing.
On the palate, the wine has medium plus acidity, medium plus tannins with very fine and silky texture, high alcohol, medium plus body. The flavor intensity is medium plus with red strawberry, red date, black tea and herbal notes. The finish is medium plus as well.
Classic grenarche blend flavor (80%), well made, fine balance despite 14.5% alcohol. Enjoyable to drink at such young age. The funky notes initially can be off-putting to some people, but it's not over-powering after decanting and I don't mind it at all.
December 22, 2023 - So fun to drink one of these young ones. Really easy to drink now and quite pleasing. Lots of stuffing to age nicely.
December 4, 2023 - Quite enjoyable young Pegau. Wife and I both commented “we should drink them young.” Classic nose: cherry, dirt, iron/rust that distinctive Pegau funk, borderline roasted/stewed. Very lively on the palate. Bright red fruits, tightly wound, ripe, nice sweetness, drying tannins. Hot finish, the alcohol is noticeable. Dry, fine tannins, tight finish but great fruit lingers. Needs to calm down (why we don’t drink all of them young).
December 3, 2023 - Sweet fruits and a whiff of funk on the nose. Add plums on the palate. Fruit forward now. However, I feel there’s a chance it will provide a defining moment sometime in the not too distant future. Very true to the house style. Ethereal.
December 1, 2023 - Tertiary notes coming through already. The raisin-like fruit has receded quite a bit. Still somewhat aggressive. Medium-length finish.
