2020 vintage. Owned by Henri Parent, son of the late Catherine Perré-Vergé. Other Pomerol properties include Le Gay and La Violette. Concentrated rather dark fruit in a powerful ripe tannic structure. The high alcohol (abv. 15,5%) is perfectly integrated. Slightly monolithic at this stage, but very promising. — a year ago

We had the 2015 Vintage on 7/6-7/24. An excellent Premier Cru from Pommard. Tannins were fine and then softened. Black cherry, raspberry and a minerality. Well balanced and medium bodied. — 5 months ago
higher on creaminess than i thought — 3 years ago
Smoky-ripe black cherry and violets with acid and tannin galore. Serve chilled with charcuterie and cheese, this could be a Piemontese Cru Beaujolais stand-in. The Vajra version is dry and weighs in at 14% ABV. Freisa has a parent-offspring relationship with Nebbiolo... so for some of us, things couldn’t get much better. Shocked (!!!) that this is a 2015 wine; hard to imagine how hard you’d get slapped with a more recent vintage. Eataly. — 4 years ago
Absolutely fabulous — 9 months ago
Nose has syrup-y cherry, wet steel, moist-dried leaves, very over-ripe strawberry, dehydrated strawberry and wet mahogany shavings.
Palate has dried sweet cherry, cane sugar, brown bread, ripe sweet cherry, dried blackberry with faint tannins and acidity.
Tawny ruby color.
Cork pulled for slow oxidation at 5H, in a nice spot at this time.
Clearly the better of our bottles, frankly I'm quite pleased by the palate, brighter than expected, somewhat generous fruit persisting.
Second of two bottles acquired in 2021, this bottle had the higher shoulder fill. Cork was a mess, but one piece extraction with the Durand.
Paired to duck confit with green lentils. 👌
Solid improvement with more air time at 6-7H. — 3 years ago
