May 2, 2024 - Clear, medium, ruby showing few signs of age. Nose is ripe, luscious. Floral, red and blue fruit and sweet chocolate. Palate is powerhouse with chewy tannins. Flavour of rich black fruit, oak, mint and herbs. At least a decade of maturity ahead.
August 20, 2018 - Still good! Dark berries...
April 12, 2018 - A delightful, extremely well-priced (good to be eating at the restaurant of the owner) and well-structured Pomerol at Le Pan, Hong Kong.
March 21, 2018 - Corked
February 7, 2018 - Still very good
August 25, 2017 - Amazing Pomerol with oakiness and spice. Drink up now
November 10, 2016 - Last bottle from a case over the years. I have always thought this vintage of LBP was more Medoc-like than typical Pomerol. Garnet in the bowl, very slight amber rim is starting. Cherry and cedar in the nose, it needs a little time after a decant because the nose always seemed muted at first by chalk. In the mouth, red cherries, and watercress with a hint of oak. Tannins are resolved, well-balanced, medium-long finish. No bitterness. I will miss this wine, an "Old Reliable" whenever I needed a decent bottle for a steak dinner.
April 24, 2016 - At its peak, this is very open and balanced. This will not improve.
March 19, 2016 - really rich, cassis, charcoal, tobacco, cedar, cedar and more....lots to like, developed nicely over time...Coravined over 2 weeks
November 8, 2014 - Lovely blackcurrant nose on decanting, but inadequate fruit thereafter. Probably 1-2 yrs past it's peak
