  Archetypal Pomerol that has aged reasonably well - fruity, silky, still even some traces of oak. I agree with some previous comments here: the nose/bouquet has largely gone. Time to drink up as this is definitely not getting any better. Should still be pleasant to drink in 2017, but hardly beyond.

  Earlier bottles of this were excellent, demonstrating that there are gems to be found in the overlooked 2004 vintage, but although this bottle still had a vivid dark colour, the fruit had almost gone from the nose, which was simply dumb, and this was largely confirmed on the palate. Some hints of its earlier class remained, but the wine is now rather lean and astringent. This might be an off bottle, but if not, this is now heading downhill fast.

  I opened this one at a dinner party and everyone at the table really enjoyed it. The color has evolution and is really dark. In the nose there is leather and dried plum. Lots of fruit and silk soft tannins. The wine is totally in balance with an after taste that lasts ... so ... long. The beauty of it is that he is not at his top. I'ld give it another 2 years.
