Esprit de L'Église

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

A wine that majorly over-delivers! 15 years and it has settled nicely into middle age.

The color is a deep ruby, no signs of age at the edge (no bricking), ruby red edges. The nose has a medium+ intensity of cherry, currants, red plum, loamy soils, mild spice and dark cocoa. The palate is medium bodied, with medium, fine grain tannin that are resolving into the wine's texture harmoniously. The palate intensity is med+ and the finish is persistent and long. Outstanding and $34.50 from JJB on futures. Wish I had bought more!
