Sunday, March 10, 2024 - Drank last nite at Wm Farmer & Sons in Hudson with fam & Zoe. Decanted at the table, though could easily have used more time in the decanter as the wine improved noticeably in the glass over dinner. Dark purple color, no noticeable signs of age. Wonderful nose of black fruit, tobacco, pencil shavings & mushrooms/moist earth. Medium body, silky smooth with notes of blueberries, plums, tobacco, with a hint of chocolate. Perfect acidity level offsets the lushness of the flavors just right. Finesse combined with very high level complexity and balance. Just a great bottle of wine, still shining and still exuding youthful exuberance at 24 years of age, with plenty of time yet ahead. My only wish, alas, is that I had more than 1 bottle remaining in the cellar. Classic aged Pomerol!
