Pomerol, Libournais

Château Le Bon Pasteur

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

Dark, glass-clinging reddish purple with near opaque core. Lush, inviting nose of baked plum and dark berry cobbler. Equally lush, full palate echoes the nose adding juicy red plum, blackberry, and fruit ash. Velvety medium tannins entry to finish. Medium acidity. Lengthy, dark finish. Can't really go wrong with Pomerol, and this wine is further evidence of that. A good solid vintage from the house that put Michel Rolland on the map. Drink now through 2029. — 15 days ago

Château Le Gay

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Rather bold with strong aroma, this is definitely not a light blend. This would go really well with Lamb Shank or Blue Cheese. This seems to have a tinge of higher tannin with an aftertaste taste of perhaps blackberry. But less of the sweetness — 11 days ago

Château Clinet

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2023

Stony and flowery nose. It feels kind of a gravel soil. Pure and precise. Very fine and femminine. — a month ago

Château La Conseillante

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Dark deep rich color. Lots of perfume and luxury to this wine. It’s very approachable twelve years in. The alcohol is in tune. The fruit is mature and dark. Nice length. It went down very quickly and easily. Stellar wine! — 20 days ago

Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1985

My first Petrus was a very special thing. So intense and seductive, really something out of the ordinary. It kept begging my nose going back to the glass and harmoniously gave back so much pleasure. Could feel its presence very clear after a few minutes. Incredible. 98-100. Unique and delicious. — 15 days ago

This is why I love Bordeaux! $40 bottle tastes like $100! Lovely dark red color with purple and maroon rims. Classic Bordeaux nose of cedar, rust, flowers, and subtle cow shit. Aged cherries, anise, cedar, and lilacs on the palate. Lovely texture that coats and sticks. Medium plus depth and finish. Really good! — 2 days ago
