Lots of spice and a nice fleshy texture. Molasses, graham cracker, tobacco, toasty old (?) oak; fig, blackberry; menthol. Missing some acid and was at times a bit hot. Didn't really impress.

Huge colour and initially very tannic but after 3 hours in a decanter the fruit had blossomed and covered the tannins, if you like soft wine then best to wait but if you enjoy full throttle Pomerol this is drinking beautifully

PnP on day-1, recorked and opened again on day-2. Both days, alcohol on the nose, not much else, same with the palate - no fruit or secondary flavors, all alcohol. Dumped after one glass.

Probably just a sucker for aged pomerol, but this was very nice, albeit a bit simple. Dark cherries gave way to mint, and earthy notes.
