2005 Château Pedesclaux
Community Tasting Note
Julian Marshall Likes this wine:
Saturday, December 24, 2022 - Quite a nice surprise, this had finally opened up properly, showing much more classic Pauillac characteristics than before - the nose is much better, with decent cigar box and cassis aromas, only a trace of citrus in the background. Much the same in the mouth, this is very textbook, with blackberry at first followed by a rather elegant wave of blackcurrant and gentle hints of spices. Being picky, it lacks a little depth and weight in the middle section, but still a fine example of Pedesclaux. I think there was still a lot of bottle variation at the time, because this was much better than the one tried in February and I'm pretty sure a lot better than the bottle tasted by Jane Anson earlier this year.
Nevertheless, since in France, this has consistently sold for 35€ + or - since 2016, it's actually worth looking at, knowing that G Puy Ducasse, not nearly as good, sells for around 55€.
