FINE+RARE, Oct 2016

A classic, pure Pomerol nose of delicate floral and ripe fruit aromas including plum, black cherry, mocha and sweet spices. The concentrated core of fruit flavours on the palate show the same intensity and complexity as the nose, framed by perfectly ripe tannins which provide a superb sense of structure and harmony. The finish is long and luscious, full of precise red berry and raspberry. Absolutely delicious, drink now with pleasure or cellar for another 5 years.

Blueberry and spices, with hints of vanilla and light coffee. Full and juicy, with bright acidity and a clean, medium finish.

Tasted at the Syndicat de Pomerol. This has an attractive, well defined nose with pure black cherries, raspberry and cassis fruit. The palate is well balanced with rounded lithe tannins, good structure towards the slightly savoury finish. Good length and precision. Bravo! Tasted April 2011. Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com

An elegant wine with sweet cherries, black fruits, sweet black cherries, licorice and underbrush, this wine has medium body, seems very attractive already and is best drunk over the next 7-8 years. Feb 2013, www.robertparker.com
