  Deep ruby with some browning at the edges - not surprising. Raspberry, red currants and cedar & forest floor mixed both in the air and in the mouth. Resolved tannins and mature but very supple and enjoyable to drink. Still has good acidity. Certainly a drink now especially from a standard bottle instead of a mag. This was a pleasant experience but not surprising as I have had good luck with good right bank producers in this vintage. After 30 years, it's not falling off any cliffs, but it doesn't seem like it needs time unless you have a large bottle.

  Once again in magnum, once again nearly perfect now. And amongst 15 fine wines at an event last night, one of the most complete. A medium red color, an incredibly floral nose showing the best of Pomerol and a well-balanced fruit/acid backbone delivering supple yet elegantly positioned red currant, dark cherry and a bit hint of sous bois. No decant needed.

  PnP from mag
  Red fruit on the nose with dried raspberry, cassis, and a touch of vanilla and green herb notes.
  It’s med body, med acid, med+ tannin.
  There’s a bit of astringency here between the acid and tannin. This should soften up with some air, but I’m not sure if this is at its peak or if a few more years would do it good.

  Once again a super hit, and to some a surprisingly near-perfect magnum of Pomerol, combining the pretty auburn edged dark red hue with a distinct cedar, cherry, and sweet herb nose into that delicious melange that makes Right Bank wines so inviting. Very deep, strong corps, complex beyond its prior showings, with plenty of layered cherry, cedar, smoke, and mild foresty scents. Ready with little time in the glass needed, though it did evolve nicely after 15 minutes and there is a tiny weakness mid-palate but hardly an issue.
