Good Pomerol from one of the appellation’s largest estates, with around 12 hectares on the southern part of the Pomerol plateau, in an area known for its iron-rich clay subsoils. Known locally as “crasse de fer” or iron dirt, this type of subsoils have a high content of iron-oxide, which gives Pomerol wines their characteristic aromatic richness. It was also the inspiration for the estate’s name (“taille fer” translates to “carve the iron”). 81% Merlot and 19% Cabernet Franc, aged for 12 months in oak barrel (40% new). Aromas of dark fruit, plums, chocolate and earthy notes. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated. Noticeable tannins. — 2 years ago

Je pourrais décrire cette bouteille comme une main de fer dans gant de velour, à la 1ere lampée le vin semble sévère mais il s’ouvre en bouche avec des touches de fumée, poivrée, herbacé, cassis c’est quand me complexe, velouté, belle acidité qui garde tout en place. In a great place right now! — 3 years ago

Higher acidity red, with medium tannins, medium alcohol and heavy peppercorn notes, along with baking spice and red plum. Strange and fantastic — 20 days ago
