Mid ruby. From en primeur stock. Cork looks brand new! Immediately open and lush. Raspberry, plum fruit with an interesting floral element. Touch of iron and soil notes. Very inviting and exotic. Seriously impressive. Unbelievable QPR. Well balanced ripe fruit with great energy and uplift.Tastes a lot like it smells. Still a touch of tannins and a little rustic but strangely adds to the charm of this old fashioned but fantastic wine. I have drunk a lot of Bordeaux but never had this humble Pomerol. Thanks Dad for the foresight of laying this down. Excellent stuff!

Valentine's Day Eve. Garnet in the bowl, no bricking yet. Deep deep black fruits on the nose with powdered cocoa. In the mouth, the fruit is so deep and sumptuous. Somehow it is elegant and mouth-filling all at the same time. Perfect wine to celebrate Valentines with chateaubriand and all the fixings.

Fully mature, this medium/full bodied, lush Pomerol is filled with sweet, chocolate covered black raspberries, plums and earthy scents. Soft, elegant and supple in texture, this is ready for prime time drinking.
