Silky perfumed and polished. Good now with an hour's decant. Still has so much life yet too!

Supreme elegance, red and black fruits, just a hint of truffles, cedar, and charred oak. Layered, rich yet weightless in the mouth. #pomerol #vcc #bordeaux

A wonderful nose of lavender, mint and spices followed by first class tannins and the very aristocratic freshness and length of this Pomerol that is ready now but will last still a few years. From a Magnum bought in France shortly after the bottling. Enthusiastically recommended !

Seemed a little lacking concentration vs the other bordeaux in the lineup...still very juicy and offering a more black fruit vs the left bank bottles we had. Nice silky tannins
