2017 vintage. A solid effort in a vintage that was unjustly slammed by the press. Little wine was made because of severe frost, but what was left was much better than 2013. Did a vertical tasting at this small Pomerol estate this morning and everything was up to standard with the exception of the 2013 that cannot hide some unripeness. 2018, 2016 and 2015 are all excellent, followed by solid wines in 2017 and 2014 , whereas the lighter 2012 and more rustic 2004 still offer nice Pomerol value.
