Spicy and sappy on the nose with crunchy dark fruit. Highly structured with dense, firm tannins. Will need time to open out. FINE+RAREFINE+RARE Score: 17/20
A very strong effort from this estate in the Jean-Pierre Moueix stable, this 2012 (14.5% natural alcohol) has a dense ruby/purple color, a big, sweet kiss of mocha, blackcurrants, and black cherries, and notes of truffle and earth. Full-bodied, ripe and one of the great successes from this estate over recent decades, the 2012 is a must-purchase for Pomerol enthusiasts. Silky tannins, superb concentration and a long, long finish suggest a good 20+ years of evolution at minimum. Bravo! Apr 2015, www.robertparker.com
