Tasted blind. Very simple nose. Sweet red wine rather than recognisably Pomerol. Slightly over-alcoholic. (JR)

The 2016 La Croix du Casse has a very pleasant blackberry, cigar box and loam bouquet that blossoms in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin and clean, fresh blackberry and raspberry fruit, and delivers just the right amount of salinity on the finish. Drink over the next decade.

Fabulous aromas of subtle, ripe fruit with hazelnut and coffee undertones. Full-bodied, round and very silky with beautiful fruit and a gorgeous finish. Very sexy and exotic. Find this. Try after 2022.
