The tannins on this wine were quite chalky - you can almost perceptively imagine the thickness of the grape skins that were pressed. Darker purple as a result but quite fruity and expressive from the get go.

Not a very memorable nose, but classical Chablis palate - good fresh minerality/the crushed seashells that you would expect, but not much beyond it. This is not really a wine you think too much about but pairs great with food and is more likely to enhance a proper food pairing.

Agreed with other posters that this feels quite youthful still and could go for more time in the bottle. This feels medium/full bodied - but quite classical Pomerol. The first thing I picked up on the nose and palate was bacon fat - some air at this stage would probably have helped it open up.
