Quite a smooth one, but definitely required a couple of hours in decanter to open up. Interesting and rather unique nose. Green pepper and somehow… banana. Flavours of ripe reds, green pepper, cotton, banana, along with a bit of the artist formerly known as wet forest floor. Drinks nicely, but do let it sit in a decanter with large air contact surface for two hours or so.

Need to open ahead for 3-4 hrs, initially oaky then starts to open up after 1 hr with lots of Pomerol fresh fruit, 2nd day it is best light and really fruity, 4th day starts to decline. Very nice.

this really was excellent and probably the best of the 2007's I have tasted - ready to drink and distinctly Pomerol! - I'm not sure it will get any better but should be good for a few years yet

Cork in good condition and only wet to 2mm. Decanted off some sediment approx. 1 hour before drinking. Crowd pleaser. Classic Pomerol with the cab franc clearly in evidence. Could have left it another 5 years no problem.

Sunday lunch / evening with matti and Bene and the lovely partners. As always an amazing x course lunch spanning most of the Sunday. This goes with the chevreuil. No decant but opened 3 hours before. Med purple color. Very ripe red berries, peppery nose, green capsicum, ink, pencil, wet forest floor. Med acidity, med alcohol, med body, med flavor intensity, med tannins and med finish. Dark pencil mouth, chocolate, mint, capsicum, espresso, minerality, I love it.
