Saturday, March 25, 2017 - Short note.
A very fine Pomerol, indeed!
Nose with lovely and complex depth, dark fruits, tobacco leafs, herbs, sous – bois, decaying leafs and forest floor, stable notes, leather, chocolate, cedar wood and graphite.
The list goes on, and as the wine opens up (and disappears) more and more reveals.
Palate is semi mature, with silky red and black fruit, red currant and plums, ripe sweet cherries, spicy and deep, smooth but still with rather high and clean acidity.
Nose beats the palate, perhaps a bit low on fruit vs. the acidity, but still very, very good, a package of silk.
Lovely place right now, went great with food tonight.
