- Brick color with medium forming legs. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of black currant and chocolate with a medium/full body. Satin-Like texture with a medium finish.

Very approachable even at this young age - lots of dark, meaty fruits and capsicum elements give this a slightly new-world edge to it. Bitter chocolate and some tannic structre here - needs another 3 years or so before it will start to strut its stuff. These Taillefer can be quite decent wines at around 8 years of age, but at £15 a pop there is no guilt in opening some up early. Decent.

Blind, opaque, over ripe dark fruits, vanilla dominate. Some menthol. Tannic and slightly bitter. Drinking nicely where it will hold another 5 years.

Followed a L’eglise Clinet 06 and held up well. A nice solid bottle of wine that tends to punch above its price point

Rather light for a Pomerol and lacked any great depth or length of flavour but well balnced and unagressive tannins = a good luncheon claret
