  Started out surprisingly a bit petillant, very fresh and vibrant, quickly settles in to a very classic, ful bodied Pomerol with plenty of truffles, chocolate, hints of smoke, black bedrries still very much present,. A taste of history with a grateful nod, bottle and wine in perfect condition. Vandermeulen bottling.

  A Cornet Demanet bottling. An exceptional wine. At first the oomph was missing on the palate but this kept improving over hours and turned into a classic, complex, precise, vivid and fresh Bordeaux that can develop for a few more decades and gain even more complexity. At first around 94/95pts, towards the end easily 97/98pts.
  
  TN: Quite intense, expressive nose displaying minty notes, chalky minerality wrapped around a dark red fruit core, some tobacco and black truffles. On the palate the same aromas with more tobacco and some brighter red berry sweetness. Good at first but medium complex only and a bit to thin on the palate. Then with time and air this wine gained more body and blossomed into a truly exceptional wine fresh, delicate dark, blue and red fruits popping up, additional notes of smoke, herbs and minerality and even some chocolate. Truly classic and wonderful.

  A negociant bottling lunch: From a Cornet Demanet bottling (another Belgian negociant). This needed a bit of time to develop. It started out incredibly young and fresh but lacked a bit of depth. With time it gained weight and became a stunning wine. Still really young and fresh with red berries, vanilla and a great mouthfell. Wow!

  An Epic Vertical of Petrus (Ten Trinity Latour Club, London): This bottle was fully mature and past its prime but still enjoyable. A bit thinner and not as expressive.

  Off-bottle, probably a fake one. Dutch botteling (Thiessen)
