$15, very old world taste and smell to it. Those are not my favorite.

1 person found it helpfulFeb 22nd, 2014Really delicious. Very rich in flavour but also elegant. With a lot of young fruit, blossom, vanilla and some spices. Has a nice story as well: the winemaker bought a small vineyard just outside Pomerol to make wines he loves without having to think about rules and regulations.

Minty blueberry, ham rind, violets, cassis fragrances. Burnt blueberry, charcoal, black plum skins. Black currants, lightly burned. Sloe berries, lingonberries, black clays. Aka Cambrun, 20 Mille, et al. This has JP Janoueix written all over it. Charred oak leaves leaving a fingerprint, and graphite dust to pick them up.

Médium ruby garnet , medium garnet rim . This takes a little time to come together with a herbal tinge to complement the ripe summer fruits , raspberry jam and dark cherry and currants . On the palate this is a little sweet with a herbal tinge to the blackberry , current , and cherry notes . Ok balance , though the alcohol is a little noticable , rounded tannins but a little short on the cherry , blackberry tinged finish . This is ready though there is some fruit left however, I would drink now and over the next 5 years.
The back story to this wine is that my father purchased 3 cases of this wine en primeur , on my recommendation . Parker gave it quite a high score, if I remember correctly, and dad generally liked ‘those kind of wines’. He left the 3 cases in his garage through summers and winters. Alright , it was a shaded garage in the UK but after I complained he put the remaining bottles in this wine fridge (that I had conveniently bought for him as a birthday present a few years prior). A few years later he told me that he didn’t like the wine much and had given more away to employees , neighbours , the postman , his travel agent and passers by etc than he had drunk himself . This was the last bottle of those 3 cases , and I think he actually might have enjoyed it … cheers Dad !
