A massive wine with beautiful complexity. Mocha and chocolate flavors. Somewhat reticent on the nose, though, and not very expressive. Needs more time. Pomerol 1947-1989 Dinner.
A wow! nose. As reticent as the '89 was, this just leaps from the glass! Awesome complexity with prune and chocolate flavors. The wine is silky smooth. Body was lighter than the '89 and the wine is much more approachable. WOTN for me. Pomerol 1947-1989 Dinner.
This wine is in its perfect drinking window. Super fine grained tannins give this wine a phenomenal body and structure. Lots of ripe blueberry fruit. Hard to put this down. Pomerol 1947-1989 Dinner.
Initially a green stemmy nose with a lot of funk. That blew off after a while, though. Great acidity provides freshness to balance out the barnyardy flavor profile. Pomerol 1947-1989 Dinner.
The flight of 1970s were all much lighter than the '82s and '89s. These wines were still very much alive, though. Less of the chocolate and prune flavors than in the '82s and '89s. Nice freshness. Pomerol 1947-1989 Dinner.
Gorgeous freshness and expressiveness. Amazing how young and fresh this still is for a 53 year old right bank wine. The wine faded pretty fast in the glass, however. Pomerol 1947-1989 Dinner.
tasted blind. Very sweet and voluptuous, especially compared to all the other wines in the line-up. Lots of mint and smoke with chocolate and prunes. Silky tannins give this a beautiful body. Great wine! Pomerol 1947-1989 Dinner.
Very elegant. Fascinating how well this has held up. Would not have expected a right bank Bordeaux to last this long. Very enjoyable. Pomerol 1947-1989 Dinner.

Mushrooms and barnyard flavors. A very funky wine like the 1982 Evangile. Like the other 1970s, a leaner style. Pomerol 1947-1989 Dinner.

Round and plump. Quite different from the 1970 and 1982. Not as much of the barnyard flavor profile. Pomerol 1947-1989 Dinner.

Awesome intense nose. The body is pretty light at this point and the finish was short. Past its prime. Pomerol 1947-1989 Dinner.
