Community Tasting Note

90 Points
Thursday, March 22, 2018 - Well-aged with good flavors of smoky black fruits and truffles but a bit lean for what I’m looking for in aged Pomerol. Don’t get me wrong, this is elegant and well-made but lacks the expansive texture and excitment of the best wines from this commune, at least in this vintage.
