Flight 2 (3 Notes)

  • 2012 Château Gazin Pomerol 91 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Cocoa dusted rosebuds, milk chocolate, pineapple stalk. Palate is tight and dark fruited, some cinnamon bark, tannins resolving and not in your face but some way to go. Good but not quite as classy as its flight mate.

    Nose starts a little muted, with some air some mulled plums and black cardamom emerges. Some espresso and cassis too with time. Palate also tight to start, shows a little ankle with some time; real potential here. My 3rd favourite wine of the night.

  • 2009 Château du Domaine de L'Eglise 89 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Twiggy, reedy nose. Deep camphor and aniseed character. Palate is slightly medicinal, more aniseed; modern, not really my thing.

Flight 3 (4 Notes)

  • 2008 Château La Fleur-Pétrus 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Talc and Maraschino cherry. Quince jelly. Palate is young and refined. There's some creme de cassis lift and more cherry flesh. Even with air, this doesn't open out that much. One to revisit in 5 years.

  • 2006 Château La Conseillante 93 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Blue fruited nose. Quink ink and gazpacho. Also a flashback to childhood with some coconut mushroom sweet on the nose too. Palate starts short and little tight, some air opens things somewhat. There is a meatiness that reminds me of steak and kidney pudding, definitely something offaly there. Overall I really like this, by a short head my wine of the night.

  • 2004 Clos l'Église (Pomerol) 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Chocolate, some Marc de Champagne spiritiness, a little lactic. Palate peppery, needs time. Tannins on the prickly side.

  • 2004 Château L'Eglise-Clinet 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Savoury, meaty, cardamom nose. Dark fruit and espresso nose. A little gravy granule character. Slightly simple.

    Marron glace, red fruits, some lifted redcurrant. Palate refined. Tannins more resolved than many others in our line up.

  • 1998 Vieux Château Certan 93 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Nose really has that Cab Franc graphite character more than some of the others. Palate is long and spicy, so well balanced. Cracking stuff and my second favourite wine of the the night.

  • 1996 Vieux Château Certan 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Pencil case and crab apple jelly on the nose with a real interesting meatiness too. Some more greenness and red fruits on the palate. Very good but a smidge behind the 1998 for me.
