Top Notes For
Wulf Losee

2020 opened June 2024. Tobacco, red grapefruit, and old books on the nose. Small amount of red fruit on the front. Astringent tannins of medium complexity. There are some soft undernotes, but I found the uniformity of zappiness across the mid palate and the back palate to make this wine to be less interesting than it could be. Long sour finish. Not a bad wine, but sort of typical for an average Pomerol.

Excellent Merlot-based blend, well balanced but rich, great complex nose, versatile with food. Not much it can't stand up to. 2010.
