3/22/2024 - Jeff Leve wrote: 93 pointsBlack cherries, chalk and chocolate, with a delicate hint of salt are the focus of the refined, supple, soft, medium-bodied, elegant Pomerol. No decanting needed. This is ready-to-go. Drink from 2024-2035. |

3/9/2024 - Jeff Leve wrote: 92 pointsCherries, plums, mint leaf, flowers, and a hint of cocoa show up easily in the nose. On the palate, the medium-bodied wine is soft, fresh, refined, and with a strong, dark chocolate mint note that accompanies the plums in the chalky finish. Drink from 2024-2042. |

2/25/2024 - parkline_wine Likes this wine: 94 pointsReally great. Other reviewers are right - something vaguely Burgundian about this Pomerol.. really subtle and earthy but still beautiful balance emerged after about 30-1hr of air. Kept improving throughout the night. Yummy |

2/18/2024 - Rani wrote: 89 pointsTasted blimd. Quite muted on the nose and on the palate. I was opened and decanted a couple of hours prior but it’s just nowhere near ready. Faint notes of tobacco, black fruit and eucalyptus, tannins are still quite dry. I’d say wait… at least five years. |

2/3/2024 - JCGuthrie wrote: 92 pointsBrick red color. Beautiful, funky nose with black soil, cooked mushrooms, saddle leather, fresh tobacco and tart cherry. More of the same plus some mint notes on the palate. Some would find this a bit lean I'm sure, but for those like me that enjoy tertiary flavors it's really a nice wine. Reminds me somewhat of a high quality aged Chinon, but more leather and less herbal. I didn't have high expectations for this bottle given the vintage, but clearly the provenance on this bottle (birthday gift a couple years ago) was great, and it really impressed me. |

1/13/2024 - Édifice Likes this wine: 94 pointsBouquet of dark fruits, dried prunes, mint. Palate of dark fruits, spices, still a bit tannic, a bit drying and rustic, yet good structure and complexity. Relatively long finish, getting better with time. |

1/7/2024 - liber Likes this wine: 92 points7th of 12, opened 3 hours then splash decanted, perfect cork and level, developing nicely, at laid back, fragrant and nuanced end of spectrum, if more mid palate punch develops, worthy of an upgrade, limited upside, 8+ years. F (17.5). |

1/5/2024 - salil wrote: 91 pointsChampagne and claret (John's place, Croton): Liked although didn't love this, a touch leathery and slightly bretty with a faint murkiness to the red fruited flavours that made it feel a bit muddled next to the '89 Conseillante poured alongside (alas, comparison, the thief of joy). Time helps bring it together as it clears up in the glass and gains focus; it's a pretty wine though never (for me) became an especially compelling or exciting one this evening. |

12/25/2023 - BurgundySimon Likes this wine: 93 pointsVery surprising after the last few older Bordeaux, which were mainly tertiary aromas. This one still had a good amount of fruit left. I wouldn't keep it for to much longer unless you like more tertiary flavors feels on top now. Smooth tannins and long finish. There is quite a lot of bottle variation. |

12/23/2023 - NCWW Likes this wine: 91 pointsSo this was very nice but slightly bitter on the end of the palate. Not a lot of fruit left so I don't think it will keep for long at current levels. Finish within a couple of years. |

12/19/2023 - gparker777 Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep garnet color in the glass. Its nose is vibrant, featuring dark plums and cherries with a hint of Pernod spice. On the palate, the wine is smooth and shows signs of maturity, with the fruit flavors receding to reveal tertiary notes of leather and tobacco, alongside pronounced tannins. Long finish. |

9/16/2020 - "Rhône Rider" Likes this wine: 90 pointsServert blindt: Veldig sexy og litt rik frukt på nese med en del sopp og jord. Lever ikke helt opp i munnen. I munnen mere rustikk, noe grønt samtidig litt alkostikk. Alkostikket sender meg i retning østside, de rustikke aromaene sender meg i retning vestside. Bra lengde 90 poeng |

12/3/2023 - 831900_ Likes this wine: 92 pointsStrong tertiary notes of earth, soft leather. Longer finish than Ausone, Magedelaine in same vintage. After a few hours, thinned out significantly, became flabby. I really enjoyed this one, but many others did not find it on point. Edited to add: interestingly, all of the tasters in my group seemed to find this more pleasant than the CT notes of late. |

11/26/2023 - djhammond Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis is fully mature and only needs decanting to remove any sediment. The initial nose is out of this world, and worthy of a perfect rating, with deeply sensuous aromas. The palate displays tobacco and chocolate, with earthy undertones and is well balanced and complex. The end palate and finish were very tannic, and for myself distracted from the whole tasting experience. |

11/13/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 90 pointsReady to go Pomerol charmer. The wine is medium-bodied and already displaying its earthy, bright red berry, vibrant, floral character. The soft finish delivers more earthy, red fruit nuances. Drink from 2023-2030. |
