Chateau Pedesclaux 5eme Cru 2016

95+
/100

Ligesom i 2010 har vi et rigtigt insidertip. Men på en eller anden måde ikke helt så hemmeligt længere. Tæt rubinrød farve med en violet kerne. Næsen er en ægte Pauillac-klassiker i en moderne fortolkning - et rigt aromatisk spor af knuste solbær, modne brombær, lidt hindbær og fin grafit. Der er også den umiskendelige duft af blyantspids, en meget subtil jodnote, masser af friskhed og et blomsteragtigt indtryk: violer, et strejf af lavendel. Dette viser allerede, at Pédesclaux endelig er nået til tops i 2016. Smagen er strålende klar, kraftfuld, men ikke overbelastet. Ja, dette er en Pauillac med muskler, men i en skræddersyet kappe, så at sige. Dybde, frugttryk og alligevel finesse. Sorte frugter dominerer med cassis, brombær og et strejf af blåbær, men friskheden løber som en kølig strøm gennem hele strukturen. Saftige tanniner, tætvævet og alligevel fint poleret. Lang, salt-mineralsk finish med fint krydderi, lidt peber og mørk chokolade. Dette er ikke en klodset, tung vin, men en ligefrem, stilfuld Pauillac med ægte karakter. Udtrækket er mærkbart, men perfekt integreret, intet virker kunstigt eller tungt. I stedet hersker der en slags kontrolleret kraft - alt er på plads, alt er afbalanceret. Den præcise struktur minder om klassiske Lynch Bages-vine, men med lidt mere elegance og moderne tekstur. Vinen forbliver aldrig kølig eller afvisende - tværtimod: den er virkelig drikkelig med al sin dybde.

Suckling om: Chateau Pedesclaux 5eme Cru

So aromatic with crushed currants, raspberries and blackberries with hints of graphite and lead pencil. Full-bodied and very tight with beautiful tannins and a long, flavorful finish. The tannins really build at the end of the palate. Try from 2024. 95/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Pedesclaux 5eme Cru

An estate that’s unquestionably on the upswing, the 2016 Château Pédesclaux is made from 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc that spent 18 months in 60% new oak. In the past, the wines from this estate have been slightly chunky, but that started to change around 2014, and I think this 2016 is the best yet. Beautiful blue fruits, violets, spicy oak, and a touch of minerality all emerge from this medium-bodied Pauillac, which has fine, polished tannins, a seamless texture, and a great finish. With purity and finesse as well as richness and depth, it’s already reasonably approachable today, but it’s going to evolve for three decades or more. 94/100

Decanter om: Chateau Pedesclaux 5eme Cru

This really shows the heart of 2016 in the northern Médoc - it has the triumvirate of good acidity, good tannins and good fruit. It's a little austere and is going to take its time to truly get going. A second bottle proved much better for depth, as we queried rusticity on the nose of the first bottle. The second instead showed a hawthorn, hedgerow character and gorgeously rich black fruits, concentrated and focussed, and given complexity by tobacco and spice. It's the first time that four grape varieties have been used in the grand vin - Cabernet, Merlot, Petit Verdot, plus 3% Cabernet Franc. Eric Boissenot consults. 94/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau Pedesclaux 5eme Cru

The 2016 Pédesclaux is the first vintage to include all four grape varieties planted in the vineyard, according to Emmanuel Cruse. It has a very focused, concentrated bouquet of blackberry, graphite, hints of tobacco and a slight granitic scent - très Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannin, impressive depth, gentle grip and a killer line of acidity. I adore the harmony and precision of this Pédesclaux, which is probably the best to date. Highly recommended. 13.3% alcohol.94/100

Parker om: Chateau Pedesclaux 5eme Cru

The 2016 Pedesclaux is a blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, picked between 29 September and 18 October, matured in 60% new oak. It has a tightly-wound bouquet with blackberry and raspberry fruit, a touch of iodine and graphite. I like the subtle nature of this Pedesclaux, the brooding intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, crisp and fresh, a gorgeous salinity and a long and persistent, lightly spiced finish. This leaves the 2015 Pedesclaux far behind. 93-95/100
