  November 23, 2019 - Commanderie de Bordeaux in The Hague, Netherlands; Pomerol tasting. Just a brief impression. (@ Residence of the French Ambassador.): Beautifully round dark and red berries, good acidity and some pleasant sweetness. Slightly sticky tannin. A nice surprise. Try again around 2024+

  November 6, 2018 - Pomerol picks mid and high range in 2016 from bottle (Pomerol): Tasted twice at separate tastings in Bordeaux in October, with consistent notes, this wine, at 14.5% alcohol, displays no overt headiness. Blending 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, and paired in a flight with La Grave A Pomerol. While tasting with Jane Anson, I made a remark that you could take a bath in either one. Bourgneuf is smooth and refined, albeit a tad more sumptuous than the La Grave, and slightly pricier, too. Lovers of what seems from bottle to be a more “traditional style” may prefer the La Grave, as I do. Tasted also at the Grand Cercle two days earlier, the lovely and elegant cool fruit on the nose stood out among more modern styled wines. Just a lovely Pomerol, confirmed in two tastings. 93

  April 29, 2017 - Medium bodied, sweet and tart, dark plums with bitter chocolate in the nose and on the palate, the wine finishes with plummy fruits and smooth textures. It was produced with 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc.

  April 1, 2017 - Starts out promising - with red fruit on the mid palate - but then it dries out a bit. Opinion shared with Jane Anson. But wait, a second sample was juicier. Fresher. And yet there is - still - some drying tannin.
