July 7, 2016 - A good balance of fruit, tannin (rustic?), acidity and freshness makes this easy to drink. A red Bordeaux that was a good choice for a summer night. Plenty of time but drinking well now.

June 22, 2016 - Pomerol Seduction (67 Pall Mall): Smooth, good fruit, a real fruit intensity on the mid palette. Full of flavour. Tannins and good acidity to carry it through. Modern, accomplished wine making. Very interesting. 13.5%

May 1, 2013 - Au restaurant. Pas de notes formelles. Décanté 30 minutes. Sur le fruit, rond, avec structure, très agréable. Pas vraiment typé Pomerol.

June 1, 2009 - Bordeaux 2008 (Bordeaux): This is user-friendly and probably inexpensive Pomerol from the owners of ChΓteau de Lussac and Franc Mayne in St. Emilion. Not very complex, but pleasingly drinkable, with chocolate and licorice aromas and flavors, a mentholated freshness and a smooth texture. 88-91+
