You can already smell the violets, lilacs and truffle. The wine is full-bodied, ostentatious and rich, with layers of ripe, decadent plum and cherry pit fruits. Concentrated, long and multi-layered with power, and sensuality, this is a fabulous expression of 100% old vine Merlot planted in the clay soils or Pomerol.

Made from 100% old vine Merlot planted in clay soils, the first thing you’ll notice is the distinctive floral bouquet. Wet earth, black cherry, dark plums, and even darker chocolate are next in line. This wine is ripe with silky, but firm tannins, spicy, pure fruits and a long, juicy, slightly masculine finish. Give this time to develop and you'll experience a deep and complex Pomerol. The harvest took place from October 4 to October 7. Only 400 cases were produced.

This was excellent and showing great potential with rich fruit and chocolate, but is too young.

A gorgeous Pomerol. Tasty and flavorful - with juiciness. While Bon Pasteur had a "hard landing" this is juicy smooth. Lift on the finish. 90-93
