2006 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 3 hours. Ummm...yeah. Not the greatest vintage for the Right Bank. It matters not. This wine redefines the word "brooding." Massive body (still!) after 1.5+ decades and a nose chock full of black truffles and fudge. Flavors added pine forest mud and a fines herbes ensemble. Generally not the biggest Pomerol fan but this wine casually tosses out both exquisite brusque and delicate tendencies in the same draw. This has at least two decades to stroll around the grounds until it feels at home. Goo goo koo joo. Simply, effing magnificent. WOTN! Happy birthday, Dermott! 3.5.23.

Perhaps opened to soon good fruit holding
