Had one of these last night - thought it was lovely, especially after a couple of hours when it had a great moment of fresh red fruit. Probably a bit past it's prime but definitely gorgeous -

Very similar experience to 1st bottle with this 2nd bottle, really wish we had more. Paired beautifully with coq au vin. Highly recommend and time to drink up any remaining holdings.

Very mature, complex, totally integrated and drinking extremely well but tannins completely resolved so time to drink up any remaining holdings. A beautiful classic Pomerol Bdx and truly showing well from a little bit of a weaker vintage. Initially very musky but that blew off quickly and the bouquet was ofctar, a hint of oak, smoke, dark cherry and roses. Very long lingering aftertaste with a hint of oak, classic cassis, cigar box, raspberry and dark cherry on the palate. Highly recommend but need to drink these up - this is either at it's very peak or perhaps just beyond the peak.
