  Another good showing of an aged VCC. Drank it with a fried, We loved the 12.5% Alc. airyness in this wine. Very drinkable with food, delicate and elegant. Beautiful aromas of damp forest floor, sour cherry, spices. 94+

  Overall still fresh surprisingly. Light but pleasanr capsicum nose with red fruits. Elegant and delicious on palate with medium finish. Was expecting more teritary notes from a 20yo wine but its enjoyable as it is.

  From a magnum. No decant. Drinking beautifully. Good secondary notes, red fruit, a little sweetness but just the right balance. Silky smooth on the palate and finish.

  I brought this and served it blind vis-a-vis Soutard, many preferred the latter, I certainly preferred this; outperforming the vintage, this shows rich and classic Pomerol-notes, chocolate, fullness of berries, sous-bois and a quite creamy texture. Mature, but no hurry. #NewYearsEve@PPJ.

  WOTN: warm yet not hot, open structure with varied and rich fruit, lovely satisfying finish. side flavours of spice, leather, caramel (hint), toast. Would source to drink.
