Sunday, August 6, 2023 - Purchased at auction in 2012. Pristine bottle, perfect level and cork. Not decanted, opened three hours in advance. Mature but lively appearance; lovely Pomerol nose, excellent complexity (cherries, flowers, earth, vanilla pod, oak spice, tobacco, truffle), pure and transparent, good depth; gentle and harmonious palate, elegant and flowing, relatively light style but more generosity than the previous bottle (tasted in 2020), almost resolved papery tannins; complete finish with very good resonance and length. A quiet wine, graceful and well matured. Drink soon.
