This has matured into a really pretty, mature Bordeaux that still has a youthful feel, with lots of softened, well rounded cassis, leather, hints of cocoa and perhaps a bit of pipe tobacco. The tannins on the mid length finish are still abit firmish, but very well integrated. This was drinking well after about an hour or so of air and I suspect that this has lots of years ahead of it.

One-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. No sediment. Red plum aromas during decant. In the glass: garnet bowl to amber rim with a large clear halo. Nose of violets, ripe plums, Epsom salts and a light Bordeaux funk. In the mouth: super ripe red plums, buttered mushrooms, spice and a hint of iron. Fairly long finish which emphasized just how juicy this wine was. Wine has 5-plus years anyway.

Drinking wonderfully at the age of fifteen! Translucent dark ruby in colour! Vibrant aroma of leathery mineral dark fruits, slightly sweet succulent juicy fruits on the palate!

Same profile as my note of 8-12-2021. Still a wonderful juicy Pomerol.

1st of 6, ready to drink now. Tannins are nice and soft, solid wine. Good not great no need to rush but should start here for a handful of years
