  Brick in color. Nose still has a lot of red fruit.
  There is something missing or more likely gone here. Bright red fruit is out there but there is nothing else. It must be flawed.
  Disappointing

  Not at all profound, but still a lovely wine.

  (Blind tasting)
  Medium-fullish nose at first rich and warm with toasty notes of coffee and plum. After a while a bit tired with earth, damp cellar and roots.
  Medium-fullish palate with soft tannins and a slight lack of fruit. A bit astringent. On the positive: Very old-school Bdx. Balanced and also quite elegant. Better 5 years ago. Drink up.

  Solid and spicy, this is an old school style of Pomerol that eschews opulent merlot fruit in favour of something more savoury. Compared against a 2007 of this wine tasted recently, which was rather lighter on its feet, it would seem as though the oak regime has been toned down from the mid-90s as this had a dense, grainy, oak built structure around its blackberry and plum fruit. Although this clearly lacks finesse, if I had it in my cellar I would be quite happy to drink it up with something suitably stolid and English like beef wellington.

  Wild mushroom tart and roasted pork loin 1/28/11, Bon Vivant, Palo Alto. Popped and poured. Nothing much OTN right away, whiff of cigar box and cedar, eventually. In the mouth, some mild berry/cherry without much depth. By last glass, mouthfeel more velvety, more fruity, better finish. Nice, but not special. I'd drink my other ones sooner than later.
