  Outstanding. Has improved considerably over time and now seems finally ready for business. Big, velvety, voluptous and long. The nose is classy, full of havana, leather, plums, roasted coffee, intense berries, some humus. The palate is round, fully bodied, with a velvety texture and ripe tannins, very flavorful and echoing the flavors of the nose. The length is impressive, well over 40 seconds. A very positive surprise from this lesser-known estate. Good vintage, for sure. Drink now or in the next 6-7 years.

  Vibrant, dark garnet colour. Pretty ripe and bold nose, plummy, oaky, showing ripe berries, raisin, chocolate and roasted coffee. Medium to full bodied on the palate with the same ripeness as well as some undergrowth. Not terribly long but definitely medium long. A very good wine. Obviously not the top in Pomerol. Still pretty young, good for 8-10 more years.
