Community Tasting Note

djhammond Likes this wine:

Wednesday, December 18, 2019 - This most certainly benefits from a few hours in the decanter, and it shrugs off the typical 1995 tannic austere backbone with sufficient aeration. The nose is deep and aromatic with raspberry, plum, tobacco, and cedar prominent. The tannin is now smooth on the palate and it has a typical Pomerol opulence, and is well balanced with good depth. The finish does not really match the quality of the rest of the wine, and is on the shorter side and a little unbalanced towards the end. I would probably have scored this a point higher, but the bottle was slightly off kilter, and probably had been stored badly. 93+
