Prominent tannins on opening which softened after a couple hours in the decanter. Superb now with air. No hurry ... should coast along for many more years.

This is just entering its prime. The most outstanding feature of this wine is the acidity, which though not atypical is particularly pronounced in stark contrast to the rich ripe aromas of black cherries and blueberries and chocolate leather, making this wine exquisite in its richness.

This is a 100% merlot from a small estate in Pomerol (2 ha). Nose offers toasty, vanilla-like and praliné aromas from barrel ageing, and a bouquet of red and dark berries. Taste reflects the aromas from the nose. Appears not fully in balance right now. Tannins are quite strong and need to settle further. Medium finish.

Decanted an hour and drank over next 6 hours. Garnet color. Fruity, black berries nose. It gave a sense of vanilla and licorice, strong and tannic.
