Château Beauregard

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

On the nose this wine is ripe raspberries and it carries through to the palate. It is structured on soft tannins that dissipate on the palate after 45 minutes decanted. As the wine opens I get a hint of violet mixed with dark fruit. This is a beautiful wine to drink now & I suspect it will remain so another 3-5 years. — 20 days ago

Terrific classic Pomerol from a legendary right bank vintage. Raspberry cake, smoke, tobacco, leather and cocoa. Palate is opulent and silky with so much finesse and gorgeously ripe tannins. — 21 days ago

Château L'Evangile

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Presented to me double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core and rust colored rim; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some signs of light sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and drying fruits: lightly stewed blackberries, black cherry, plums, tobacco, dried green herbs, old fine wood, vanilla and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long.

Initial conclusions: this could be Tempranillo, Malbec, Merlot (or based blend), or Zinfandel-based blend from Spain, Argentina, France or the United States. However, the staining was a bit much unless there was a lot of PS in the blend so I eliminated Zinfandel. I also didn’t think this was purple enough for Malbec. This left me with Tempranillo or Merlot and I felt that this leaned more towards its structure than fruit so I was leaning Spain or France with 15-20 years of age and from a solar vintage. Ultimately, I chose Tempranillo, from Spain, Rioja, Gran Reserva from 2006…from a quality producer like C.V.N.E. Yeah, I can see Pomerol. Shoot. This is stuff and ready to drink now and will drink well through 2032+.

Menthol notes usually gets me to Pomerol.

@Somm David T noted. Menthol is typical something I get from a number of Bordeaux varieties (and blends thereof), and sometimes old wines in general.

Blind tasting is never easy. A really good golf swing might be easier. 😂

Been too long since I’ve had Bordeaux. This one is a golf shot away from one of the “big boys” and a steal for a fraction of the price. — 14 days ago

Château Feytit Clinet

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

2016 vintage. Jérémy Chasseuil is working miracles here. Needs a bit of air, but after half an hour in the decanter it really started to shine. Intense perfume of raspberries, blueberries, violets, rosemary and a hint of truffles lurking in the background. Concentrated, with layers of red and black fruit and subtle spices. Velvety tannins and hardly noticeable oak. Very long too. Still very much under the radar, a great chance to buy a high end Pomerol for less than a 100 euro. — a month ago
