  Ageless color. Consistent with inviting nose, bright and incredibly delicious red berries, ripe and crispy kirsch with hints of vanilla, melting in the mouth. Good grip nevertheless. Long lasting, persistent finish, generous appearance, a personality. Over expectations, on peak. Pomerol at its best.

  Fresh herb, earth and mushroom aromas on the nose, medium bodied and soft, but firm textured, with a raspberry and bright cherry note in the ready to drink finish.

  Regular dinner group (@ MH): Beautiful and rustic bouquet with black berries and licorice. On the palate concentrated and creamy dark berries. Beautifully dosed oak, round tannin which is a bit drying in the finish. Needs another 5+ years. So around 2018+

  Great dark color, very complex nose of dark cherries, plums and figs, oak very well integrated, good concentration and good freshness for the vintage long and medium body, great ageing potential with a lot of drinking pleasure today! great bottle for the money!
