Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 13, 2018 - Chateau La Conseillante Dinner with Marielle Cazaux (Le Cafe Descartes at the French Embassy): Classic Pomerol nose displaying silky black fruit with a hint of red, blackberry, black cherry, a hint of plum, rose, black truffle, cappuccino, light caramel, cedar and limestone dust. Perfectly integrated yet youthful palate, very finely layered black fruit, exceptional finesse and purity, silky and polished, bright acidity, strong mineral and a seamless long silky black fruit driven finish with caramel and black truffle at the end. Although there is generous fruit, it has reached the youthful peak and the overall expression is starting to be dominated by secondary notes. It reminds me the 89 vintage at the similar stage but perhaps with a bit more fruit. It is a beautifully balanced classic Pomerol that is drinking beautifully.
