Decanted and needed time to open. Worth the wait. A good glass especially considering the price of $28. I definitely would not serve this to fans of big juicy reds.

too bad i didn't read these reviews before blowing $40 on this affordable, but not enjoyable, pomerol. unfortunately i know very few exceptions (chateau cantemerle) to having to spend $75 or more for even a moderately enjoyable bordeaux these days. although the aromas were promising, i couldn't keep drinking this and switched to a cheaper but pleasanter rioja. i won't be experimenting with this estate again.

Ouvert sans décantation pendant 2 heures, ce fût sans doute une erreur de ne pas le décanter. Un pomerol sans personnalité ? J'ose l'écrire ici. Au moins on l'avait gardée debout la veille, les sédiments (nombreux !) ne se sont pas rendus à nos verres. Étonnament tannique pour son âge, il ne m'a pas impressionné (surtout à 83$). Dommage... un ami m'a dit que le 2005 était superbe, mais je ne peux malheureusement pas le confirmer. À 40$ je chiâlerais moins !
