Wednesday, March 15, 2023 - Nick's Pomerol Part II (67 Pall Mall, London): An unscheduled Auslese to perfectly bookend a decadent Pomerol themed dinner, thanks Nick.
Orange in colour and whilst there are alluring aromatics ( whiff of super unleaded meets seville orange - in a balanced and good way!), nothing prepares one for the narcotic experience on the mid-palate. It's full bodied, viscous, fresh, there's serious concentration, huge scale and persistence showing through in textural layers that cascade, on and on. It's sweet but its savoury and the is a complex citrus dance that tantalises and teases. Bravo. Not officially in the vote for WOTN fortunately for those preceding. A real treat unlikely to be revisited. From Zalto.
