An approachable Bordeaux from Lalande Pomerol (Right Bank), the V’17 is blended at 80% Merlot and 20% Cab Franc, that reflects on the straightforwardness from the very beginning, quite aromatic, tons of influences of ripe dark fruit, mulberry with a nice acidity balance. The nose and the palate concours on the intensity back fruit ripeness, a hint plummy that yields freshness that also makes it vibrant and uplifting. The mouthfeel pleases even the most sophisticated tastebuds.
Loved the incorporated and tannins structure with a polish and smooth finish. Drink now, as it is still cruising on its prime time. Cheers!

Very different from the Tempo D'Angelus. This giving a lot less ripe, more lean style. Also a good glass of wine given the price but preferred the Angelus style this weekend. — 2 months ago

Really delicious wine. Deep flavor and incredibly smooth. Paired great with a burger, but it would probably paragraph with just about anything. — a month ago

Nice but not amazing. For $40 would probably skip. Decanted 5 hours. Air was necessary - can believe this would be better in a few years but meh. Tannins are quite balanced, surprisingly so. Overall the nose is a bit muted but air helped. Nice dark fruit. Could use a smidge more acid. Nice pairing with a delicious wagyu tomahawk. — 2 months ago

My first experience with a bdx with this type of age. It had a note of green pepper on the nose and had a lot of life left. — 14 days ago

Medium ruby , thin slightly pink ruby rim . Quite dark fruit with cassis , blackberry , grafite . On the palate quite ripe and juicy , but with good balance , slightly gritty but ripe tannins , good cassis tinged , grafite finish . Overall this shows well , with good density and juiciness , sweet but importantly with a very balanced , refreshing personality. Enjoyable now , fruit forward , but no doubt can age well over the next 10 years. Enjoyable and moreish . — 2 months ago
