February 27, 2024 - Deep red, slight orange edge, slow drops. Cassis, undergrowth, eucalyptus, black cherry, vanilla and raspberry nose. Cassis, vanilla, graphite, red apple, oak and herb nose. Young tannins with quite some grip! Needed time to open and allow the fruit to come through. Decanted for an hour or so.
December 24, 2023 - Brought this to a Festive Season gathering at my sister-in-law's place.
Decanted for 2 hours before consumption. Dark purple with fresh berries and plums. Good intensity and finesse.
Blend of 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Can probably age for another 5 years in the cellar before reaching its peak.
April 9, 2023 - Ruby red, clear tending to tan edge, slow drops. Undergrowth , black cherry, forest fruit, wood, mushroom and herbs (rosemary) nose. Lack cherry, red fruit, wood and vanilla taste. Grippy tannins, fruit and aged aromas, young still. A bit underwhelming.
Decanted for an hour, a bit clumsily, so ended up with a bit of sediment in the glass which wasn’t necessarily the best for allowing this wine to shine.
September 17, 2022 - Deep plum purple, nose fairly closed. Tannins, fruit and acid balance harmoniously. A bit jammy and does not show the "unctuous" quality I often associate with Pomerols. As other have noted, the finish is a bit bitter and iodine-y though this recedes after about an hour of air.
July 21, 2022 - Too bitter, unbalanced, puckering. Hints of soy sauce, sterilizer, cedar. Only 13.5% but tastes like 14% or higher.
July 21, 2021 - I would like to say it is really ready to be drink. I have been trying this many times in last three years. It has evolved into a very charming and quintessential Pomerol. Very balanced yet oak well integrated with wild flowers , ripe berries, coffee, and spices. Medium to full body, round and silky, nice finish. Enjoy!
February 28, 2021 - Очень тяжёлое вино, обязательно пропускать через декантер, после декантирование раскрывается ягодными нотами, очень приятное послевкусие, ударяет в голову
February 18, 2021 - Chunky...dense... thick black fruit on the palate. Years from being ready.... after 5 hours notes of raspberries, mouth coating tannins. Really quite hard work.... give it another 10 years.
January 18, 2021 - Deep purple in colour. Medium+ nose intensity with notes of cassis, pencil lead, black fruits, charred wood and toast. Medium+ acidity and tannin.
March 24, 2020 - Expected. very pomorol but more st emilion wine with mainly merlot. Aroma was interesting, intense, spicy mixed with jam and red fruits. Full body, earthy, oaky with long palmmy finishing. Lack of complexity but it will change and be greater after a few more yrs.
