2006 Château Lagrange (Pomerol) 92 Points

2002 Château Certan-Marzelle 88 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
Relatively light colour, not a lot of oak, somewhat drying in the tannins, not without charm but lacks a certain amount of stuffing. Very young for its age - I thought it might be 2007.

Flight 3 (4 Notes)
1999 Château de Sales 93 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
First bottle was less than perfect. The second one had 10 minutes of glory. Fully mature, delicate and decadent, all elements perfectly melted together, perfumed (Chanel No 5 - jasmin), incredibly seductive, "une grande horzontale", "très sexuel", superb. Woop woop. And then it faded into mediocrity (88 points).

1998 Château La Pointe 88 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
Farmyardy to the point of brett but this lifts slightly, hint of vanilla, medium weight, elegant but drying, drink up.

2006 Château de Sales 87 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
Unripe, grassy notes, thin and drying, tight acidity, cherry stones, chocolate, this is not going anywhere.

Aniseed, fully mature but not over the hill, smooth, charming, fades quickly in the glass.

2000 Château Gazin Pomerol 90 Points

Rich, complete and classic, some evolution but wonderful vitality, powerful yet elegant, a beauty.

2003 Château Gazin Pomerol 87 Points

Odd. Very tight and young (I would have sworn it was 2008), sweet fruit, hint of candy but dry and thin at the same time.

2007 Château Rouget 87 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
Young, quite tight but with a nice creaminess, lovely berry fruit, good length, modern, toasty oak, lacks some weight and stuffing. 2007 probably?

2001 Château La Conseillante 88 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
Rather vegetal, bay, drying, light, opens up to more expressive oak, does not seem very old yet, 2004 perhaps? One gets the impression this is not a perfect bottle.

France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
Relatively light and dry, completely ready, not a lot of energy or interest. Will dry out, drink up.
