Fresh but ripe fruit coated with classy and fine tannins. The quality and concentration are higher than you would predict based on the vintage and "second wine" status. Very well balanced but possibly a bit one dimensional, but further nuance is possible with some time. Hard not to recommend for those looking for a well priced Pomerol that is serious but approachable.
