CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2020 Pedesclaux is a powerhouse. The tannins are a bit less searing than they were en primeur, but only slightly. Dark fruit, chocolate, leather, spice and licorice struggle to emerge. This feels pushed. Pedesclaux is a Pauillac that relies more on power than finesse.

56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. Cask sample. Finely scented nose with dark fruit and subtle vanilla oak to the fore. Pure and precise on the palate, the fruit at perfect pitch, the tannins finely honed. Cool and fresh with a saline edge on the finish. Lacks the power of top Pauillac but sleek and well defined. (JL)
