  Big advanced nose of wet earth, truffle iodine and beefy notes. Nice red and black fruit on the palate with a slight floral note. What is so cool about this wine is it was not aged in barrel--it went straight from the blending tanks to bottle. With that, it's amazing how well this wine aged. We enjoyed this at a outstanding lunch with the owners who could not have been more nice and welcoming. Wonderful experience with great people.

  Powerfull nose of licorice, truffles and jammy strawberry. The ripe fruit is very present in the mounth. This wine is clearly more powerfull than Eglise Clinet 1982 and Bon Pasteur 1982... Stephane told us that the terroir is situated between Trotanoy and Latour à Pomerol, which is not surprising us seen the amazing level of fruit... This wine was the surprise of the evening for me!!
