96 Points

Tuesday, April 14, 2020 - Actually a corked bottle but only slightly so and only becoming noticeable after ca. 15 minutes. I PnP this and boy, was this impressive. It has the ripe fruit but also its singnature acidity and structure of 05. VCC doesn’t go for late picking and extraction and it suited them well in this vintage, so you could approach this now if you are a curious cat. This is a stellar, classic Pomerol in the making. Prime window will not start before 2025 is my guess. Wonderful! 96-97
