Scores + Notes
An impressive Pomerol from proprietor Jean-Michel Arcaute, the 1996 possesses a saturated plum/purple color, and a pure nose of spicy, sweet oak, minerals, black fruits, and prunes. The wine is surprisingly open-knit with an expansive, medium to full-bodied, succulent texture. There is tannin in the finish, but it is nearly obscured by the wine's glycerin, fruit extraction, and ripeness. Drink this attractive, silky Pomerol now and over the next 10-12 years.
