Sunday, March 17, 2013 - This left me rather indifferent. Not bad just not a great old pomerol. Quite disappointing really. Thought I hadn't let it open for long enough so kept a third of the bottle all afternoon in decanter. In evening still hadn't opened up much. Not sure it will improve although Neil Martin thinks so as he says "The palate is full-bodied, still rather unresolved, sinewy, very structured with oak dominating. But there is sufficient fruit concentration to suggest that this could be a real long-term VCC like those of old. Don’t say I did not tell you...but cellar it long-term. Drink 2018-2040. Tasted November 2008."
