Medium-bodied, lighter-styled, earthy, silky, fully developed wine with a soft, earth, and savory, plum character that will be at its best over the next 5 years or so.

Dark core, brownish rim. Aromas are not as primary and explosive as some years ago but still vey expressive. Chocolate, fruit, smoke. Meaty body, but still on the lean side, not juicy. By far better at this stage than Certan de May or left bank Leoville Poyferre.

This Pomerol is lighter than others but a nice starter wine - has violets, black brambly fruits, hint of spice, sweetness and fruity finish with a slight tinge of liquorice finish.

2 days later: Plastic Padding is gone. Wine is rich and rewarding. Pure and yet true to its origin. Still feeling like an unnecessarily young Merlot. Tight and rather promising. Really looking forward to our last btl some time around 2025-ish.

Leathery. Stable and some tannins left. Celllared for 10 years. Rich elegant pomerol.
