Smooth drinking and well rounded Château Pipeau 2011 provides a sharp, almost peppery taste when it first hits the tongue which breaks way to a rather significant flavour of cherries and black currant. Deeper tasting reveals hints of olives, woodiness, and fresh tannins, but the tannins are curbed by a mild sweetness. Also offers a clean finish with a hint of chalkiness. I feel age will only improve this. Not one to miss. Tasted December 2014.
