December 2, 2023 - Not the best bottle with a high shoulder fill and a completely soaked cork. 8 years after the last note here on CT, the wine is still showing as Ericsson described below. Clear garnet with some bricking towards the transparent rim. A very fine nose with sous bois and some animal notes. On the palate dried fruit, leather. Tannins completely resolved. Acidity is providing freshness. Medium length.
Same wine and pretty much same notes as Ericsson 8 years ago but in my book this is a solid 90-91 and a very satisfying fully mature Pomerol -

March 5, 2015 - Bouteille et bouchon en parfaite condition. Bottom neck. Non carafé. Couleur grenat/brique bien évoluée. Nez sur le sous-bois et le humus. En bouche, le vin est plutôt fin, la matière est en voie de disparition. L'acidité est présente et procure une certaine longueur en bouche.
Sur la base de cette bouteille, le vin est à terminer. -

November 16, 2013 - Encore meilleur que la dernière fois... Même remarque, mais la belle finale me marque davantage... Les dernières gorgées sont les meilleures, signe qui ne trompe pas.

April 13, 2013 - Nez assez impressionnant de groseille et cassis confituré. Excellent en bouche, mâche et longueur. Cèdre, tabac, cuir, venaison, fruit présent. Vraiment très bon.
