  December 16, 2022 - Drank this last night with 2-3 hr decant.
  Very smooth, well integrated, good length to the finish.
  Earthy flavours with some fruit in background.
  Nothing overpowering. Well balanced.
  Very enjoyable. Happy to have more in the cellar

  My first bottle ( 1/3 ) from this vintage ... oh boy, this is lovely.
  Decanted for a couple of hours and enjoyed over two days.
  
  + Colour - swirling it against the light, a lovely deep, sexy, inviting red colour
  + Nose - intense, chocolate, slightly burnt coffee, but a heap of juicy fruits
  + Taste - young, juicy, inviting, smooth, tender, sexy, chocolate, truffle, playful
  + Finish - again very juicy, but a bit hard and short, but it comes back with a punch of truffle and chocolate
  
  I like this very much - unsure how this will evolve, but at this stage very much enjoyable !
  Right now a solid 90+ in my spectrum of Pomerol wines I have tasted so far.
  Excellent P/Q - buy this vintage if you can still find it !!!

  Fruity with a focus on the black raspberries and cherry notes, this wine is medium bodied, forward and ends with a green olive tapenade in the finish. 85 - 87 Pts
