  Gang of 4 in Covid19 times; Bordeaux right bank (@ RW): The bouquet is a bit earthy with dark berries and sweet spices like cinnamon. Also with creamy chocolate. On the palate red and dark berries, vanilla, ok acidity and length. Medium, round tannin. Ready now and the next 2 – 4+ years. Beautiful wine. 90 – 91

  Clean plum, fruitcake nose, angular, with some green stemmy Cabernet franc notes in the background. This is quite a burly, square edged pomerol, more on the rustic end of the spectrum than the more hedonistic, fleshy style you might expect. Correct, not objectionable, but not overly memorable either.

  Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club" 2019-05; Bordeaux 2008 vs 2009 (@ My place): In the bouquet red and dark berries, a bit rustic and some stable smells. On the palate a creamy, fairly full bodied wine with red fruits like strawberries, vanilla, good acidity and beautiful oak. Round tannin with still a soft bite. 89 – 90

  Luftet 1 time før konsum. Aroma med preg av mørk sjokolade, kirsebær, plommer, mm. I munnen er den medium fyldig og med god syre og medium tannin. Smaken følger aroma. Bra lengde. Ok Pomerol som ikke helt klarer å engasjere. Finnes bedre kjøp til ca 500,- nkr. Fungerte ok til Confit de canard.
