A beautiful wine in every way! Garnet in color, with medium (+) intensity of aromas and flavors including potpourri, fig, plum sauce, cassis, violet, licorice, pencil shavings, cedar, clove, anise, leather, sweet tobacco, bell pepper, cardamom, forest floor… medium acidity, medium (+) tannins that are soft and fine-grained, medium alcohol and a long elegant finish. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Excellent aged 20 year old Pomerol @ £148 with loads of life & aging left for 5-10 yrs!

🍷 Opaque ruby

👃 Beautiful elegant smoked oak, tobacco, minerals, gravel, pencil lead, leather, wet leaves, dark berry fruits, vanilla, herbs, mocha, stewed plum & dried meats - yum 😍

👄 Med body of black & red plump plummy opulent fruit, well balanced & silky smooth coated with cocoa & minerals

🎯 Long red & black fruit filled finish with a mocha liquorice mineral climax - oh yeah

Beautifully delicate and nuanced. Fruit balanced by earthiness and subtle tannins. Gorgeous wine.

My favorite Pomerol! Fantastic nose! Perfect age! Really drinking well. The second best to only the 2000 vintage.
