Really extraordinary and absolutely recognizable as Pomerol. Great Pomerol nose, still some fruit, good tannin and long finish. Just right. Won't improve but no rush. Glad I waited.

Mid-brick, amber edges; terroir, red fruit, old world, cocoa, cedar and leather nose; decent fruit, a little tight; improves with air; long fruity finish; very drinkable now. w/beef

A small taste of this at The Sampler. Lovely cassis nose, ripe and expressive. At peak maturity, with great ripe fruit and plenty of blackcurrant. Perhaps a bit soft focused on the finish but otherwise fine.

This is one great wine that's under the radar. Soft and balanced, yet still possesses plenty of fruit. Very much in the style of a similar vintage Pichon Lalande

Very attractive, plump, with a distinctively herbaceous, tobacco character. Maybe not classic, but how often do I get to drink mature Pomerol of this stature? A real pleasure to which the points don't do justice.

Dark red colour. Scents of flowers and cigar box. Dry and slightly watery in the mouth. The was a really nice underlying element of tobacco to the flavour that I really liked, but overall the wine was a bit dry. I wonder if this wine needs more time. 85 points

A true Claret — smooth and refined tannins, but no fruit left

Holding up nicely... Delightful... A little alcohol overpowering whatever fruit is left on the palate...

Very dark, scarlet red, bright
Soft fruit, soft nose, nuance, not very dominant
Powerful, round with strengh, complex, very nice after taste

Diep donkerrood. Eerst inkt, dan zwart fruit, leer, tabak. Volle, zware smaak. Nog liggen?
