Beautiful nose really. Smells like the inside of an expensive car or a brand new leather bag filled with berries, herbs, and tobacco. The palate is fresh, and the acidity is there, but it’s a bit thin and soft owing to the poor vintage no doubt. Not a wine that blows you away, but complete, seamless, and well made. This can definitely go 5-10 more years but I don’t see much reason to sit on these.

Decanted for 2 hours. A hint of VA at first that blew of in the decanter. The nose steals the show. Fresh, crunchy red fruit, a touch of smoky earth. There's some herbaceous notes in there too, bay leaf and pepper. Really moresih. The palate is a little one dimensional but very enjoyable. Medium bodied, strawberry, raspberry, touch of vanilla and a peppery finish. Blind, you'd never guess Pomerol. Lovely clean line of acidity. Everything in order and very good for the vintage.

Sunday evening in Singapore 🇸🇬. Pairing with cheeses from la Yaute. Deep purple Color. Dried raspberries and strawberries, green capsicum, a bit of Mint, light touch of cream, black pepper and mushroom. Med acidity, Med body, Med alcohol, Med flavor intensity, Med+ tannins, Med finish. Subdued and dried fruits, dry tannins, not a very long finish, a bit of acidity, and a slight watery end, so the mouth is a bit disappointing as compared to the nose.
