Clove, cherry, dry but with juicy cherry/plum fruit; good fine tannins, pretty and dried florals. 3rd to last but I liked this. It didn't show well next to other bigger wines though. TOC DD Yarom group at H&H Brazilian Steak Beverly Hills. (244 views)

Opened and decanted for four hours. Poured into bottle again and enjoyed it next night. What a distinguished bouquet and an elegant balance! The quintessence of Pomerol. (489 views)

I've been opening up a few 2009 in the las few months and this was comparatively a disappointment.

Even after a 4 hour decant it was incredibly chewy and raw, but more concerning I didn't find any depth and luxury that suggests in another 10 years it will be a different experience, it simply had a rather tart blueberry taste with limited complexity compared to any other 2009 I have had so far.

I'll let the other 5 bottles sleep, maybe they surprise me. (502 views)

Truffle, licorice, smoke, dark chocolate, violets, and black cherries on the nose. The palate is creamy, fresh, vibrant, and juicy, with a bright edge to the red fruits, dark chocolate, spice, and licorice nuances that linger on the mid-palate, through to the finish. The wine will require at least a few years of aging before it begins to really start to show its best. The score could rise as the wine develops. The wine blends 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc. 14% ABV, 3.7 pH. Drink from 2029-2055. 94-96 Pts. (373 views)

Birthday party (Chicago, IL): From magnum. A bit burly and more rustic than I would have liked from a Pomerol. Black fruit, plenty of tannins, and a bit leathery. (537 views)

375ml. PnP. Beautiful nose, clean, expressive, and floral. Dark and ripe fruits with good acidity to keep it lively. Fine and smooth tannins abound but approachable. Excellent density and length with lingering aftertaste. A touch spicy too. A huge Pomerol with excellent balance, this is advancing at fairly slow pace vs previous bottles, should last 40 to 50 years. It’s at the 3rd inning of a baseball game with plenty of walk on base and foul balls. Good wine now with plenty of potential to improve further. (923 views)

Black cherries, plums, chocolate, espresso, and flowers pop in the nose. The palate is equal to the perfume with all of its plums, black cherries, creamy tannins, and chocolate notes, along with toasty oak, licorice, spice, and a refreshing sprig of mint in the finish. Chateau Le Gay is normally a wine requiring quite a bit of aging before it begins to show its best. But, with the 2021 vintage, you can enjoy this with pleasure after just a year or two of aging. The wine blends 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc, and is 100% entirely vinified in new, French oak barrels. Drink from 2025-2045. (451 views)
