Similar service and profile from my notes of 2-9-23, 8-24-22 and 5-10-21, but the wine has now developed a chocolate element to both the nose and mouth. Hence the additional point.

Continuing with bottle 3 of 4, the nose showcases enticing aromas of dark fruit, dried leaves, cinnamon, cedar, nutmeg, and violet. The palate is velvety and full-bodied, with flavors of ripe plums, blackcurrants, cocoa powder, clove, and black pepper. The tannins are well-integrated and silky with balanced acidity, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. Excellent QPR.

Friend asked me to bring this wine because he had read about it and I was the only person he knew who had any. In line with my notes of 8-24-2022 and 5-10-2021.

No decant. This is a lovely wine. It has shown an amazing maturity now. Copy from internet: "A new Pomerol from the Thienpont family near Clinet. Aromas of plums, raspberries and hints of chocolate. Full-bodied and polished with velvety tannins. Orange-peel undertones. So polished, long and pretty." - James Suckling

In line with my notes of 5-10-2021, but I wanted to recheck it. I still think the wine a little young, but others have noted their enjoyment now.
