Opened up another bottle, about one year from the first one. Wine hasn't improved, it just lacks flavour and taste. Not sure if this one will improve, only time will tell.

Bought 1/2 original case ( 6 bottles in total ), so worth an attempt. IMO, still way too young .... it needed decanting for 1-2 hours. Still plenty left inside the bottle, I'll open another one in a year or two.

Was good with beef and a green pepper sauce, but a bit short when drunk alone. Opened up a bit after a couple of hours. Might get better with a few years more in the cellar.

Very nice Pomerol, drank at the Clos Savoyard in Chatel, France. Really nice good surprise.
