  The opulence and richness of Pomerol's Merlot are evident in this wine, starting with the visual analysis that reveals the substantial substance expressed through a significant color density, an intense, dark, and deep purple that captivates the gaze. The nose is extremely nuanced and capable of evolving throughout the evening; the fruit is dark, with notes of plum, blackberries, and figs blending into an extremely inviting jam-like aroma. Beautiful hints of cocoa, dark chocolate, and underbrush follow, with a sweet spice of licorice and cinnamon completing the profile. Perhaps the balsamic component that one would expect from a great Pomerol is missing. In the mouth, it has pronounced tannins, beautiful acidity, and remarkable persistence that brings back nuances of overripe fruit on the retro-nasal.
  
  l'opulenza e la ricchezza del merlot di Pomerol sono evidenti in questo vino, sin dall'analisi visiva si intravede la grande materia espressa tramite un'importante massa colorante del vino, un porpora intenso, cupo e profondo già allo sguardo. Il naso si presenta estremamente sfaccettato ed in grado di evolvere durante la serata, il frutto è scuro, prugna, more, fichi che si amalgamano in un profumo di confettura estremamente invitante. Troviamo poi delle bellissime note di cacao, cioccolato fondente, sottobosco. Una spezia dolce, liquirizia e cannella a completare. Forse manca la componente balsamica che uno si aspetterebbe da un grande Pomerol. In bocca ha un tannino pronunciato, una bellissima acidità e grande persistenza in grado di riportare al retronasale sentori di frutta surmatura.

  Silky, soft and supple, with a focus on its core of sweet, ripe, elegant, juicy, fresh cherries, plums, espresso bean, dark cocoa and thyme, this forward, medium-bodied, polished, refined Pomerol will drink well-young.
