August 15, 2020 - My last bottle. A $9.99 Premier Cru closeout purchased a decade ago. Pleasantly vegetal with plum and shoe leather. At its apex but showing well for an off vintage.
November 22, 2018 - Can't remember how many bottles I started with but everything I opened was mediocre at best. Opened this bottle on Thanksgiving and was shocked how much better it was. Opened another right away.
May 25, 2018 - Inky dark yet faintly bricking at the edge. Nose of smoky cherry, bell pepper and a hint of barnyard. Palate of uncomplicated smoke, cherry and leather. Great bottle for a solo end of week steak and broccolini. Very Good.
December 13, 2017 - Very enjoyable Pomerol for an off-vintage. Nose has a bit of faint cedary oak. Showing leather, bay leaf, red plum and hints of green pepper. Medium body and soft tannins. Obviously not an ager but very enjoyable to drink now, with sufficient complexity to keep it interesting. Killer deal @ $10 from Premier Cru, even after waiting 2 yrs for delivery.
December 5, 2017 - Nice nose. Lots of Earth, mud, moss and other greens. Some eucalyptus. Finish is a bit thin but at 13% and around $20 it is a good weekday sipper.
October 27, 2013 - Une belle réussite pour une année pas formidable !
January 5, 2013 - Did not taste
November 30, 2012 - Pleasant, midweight, simple, dark fruits. Rather low acid, yet not soft. Pencil lead notes upon opening blow off after 30 minutes.
October 30, 2011 - Sub average Pomerol, glad I only paid $10/bottle.
September 6, 2011 - very simple but ok
