We drank one of these from a case in January of 2022 ... it was just okay (88-89 pts). We drank the second one on 3/10/24 ... it was really good ... a head turner. I know 92 points sounds high for a $40 wine (En Premier), but I think that is a fair score for this showing of a nice wine. I'm looking forward to cracking open the case of it's Big Brother, the L'Eglise Clinet !!

Solid pomerol . In a perfect place, needs 2-3 hours in a decanter to blossom. Not the best wine in the best vintage, but a lot of value when bought en primeur. Should hold for the next couple of years but I don’t see any upside

Double decanted for 90 minutes. It is not a show wine, but a perfectly balanced Pomerol for a fine dinner; no sediment too. A great nose, with tertiary flavour is just showing. Will be a 92+ when fully mature. Drink and HOLD.

Decanted 1hr30. Ripe intense nose with plenty of black cherries, lavender & some gentle forest floor. Palate is rich, unctuous with great freshness, gentle fine tannins (well integrated) with lots of cherries & some thyme. Good persistence, good balance. Drinking very well now but no rush. Drink now-2027.

A good and well made wine albeit on the straight forward and easier side for a lack of a better word. It is good enough but not very memorable. 89
