June 22, 2010 - Nice Pomerol. Quite a bit of fruit for a bordeaux. Blackberries, maybe cherries. Fair nose, but difficult to describe. I've had many different wines from the other bank, but not much from Pomerol, so a more experienced person in this appelation tasting this would be more helpful. Tannins well integrated,medium finish. Closed upon opening, but after 2 hours there was a fair-to-good nose. On second night the nose reminded me of cognac or armagnac at first, quite distinct. Later on I smelled Port! But the wine is not hot or too alcoholic. Quite interesting and unusual in my experience, not at all unpleasant - quite the opposite. The wine has excellent body, sheets on the side of the glass, and the color is rich. It would be interesting to try tis again in 2 years, but it is definitely ready to drink now, and it drinks very well! Would be perfect with a rib roast. I wish I had more.
