Deep garnet colour. Medium (+) and developing nose with baked black plum, blackcurrant, meat, chocolate, tobacco, cedar and vanilla. Medium (+) taste of baked black plum, meaty, chocolate, cloves, forest floor and leather. Long and dry finish. Medium (+) acidity. High tannins. Full body. A very good Pomerol that has matured well with further potential. Part of my WSET3 exam prep. Drink now or over the next ten years, at least. Goes well with beef or lamb.

Ard & David’s 50th birthday dinner (Chez David, Amsterdam, NL.): Light and elegant, the Cabernet Franc is quite leafy, pure and precise, fresh and juicy but drying finish.

Académie des Cinquante Claret Tasting (Restaurant de Moerbei *, Warmond, NL): Gentle, fresh, flowing, very light tannins, finishes dry and with a slightly sharp edge, decent length.
