My last bottle. A $9.99 Premier Cru closeout purchased a decade ago. Pleasantly vegetal with plum and shoe leather. At its apex but showing well for an off vintage.

Can't remember how many bottles I started with but everything I opened was mediocre at best. Opened this bottle on Thanksgiving and was shocked how much better it was. Opened another right away.

Inky dark yet faintly bricking at the edge. Nose of smoky cherry, bell pepper and a hint of barnyard. Palate of uncomplicated smoke, cherry and leather. Great bottle for a solo end of week steak and broccolini. Very Good.

Very enjoyable Pomerol for an off-vintage. Nose has a bit of faint cedary oak. Showing leather, bay leaf, red plum and hints of green pepper. Medium body and soft tannins. Obviously not an ager but very enjoyable to drink now, with sufficient complexity to keep it interesting. Killer deal @ $10 from Premier Cru, even after waiting 2 yrs for delivery.

Nice nose. Lots of Earth, mud, moss and other greens. Some eucalyptus. Finish is a bit thin but at 13% and around $20 it is a good weekday sipper.
