Tempting strawberry and vanilla aroma. Well matured tannins, relatively light body with a touch of cranberry

Enticing cedar - but thin body and medium mouthfeel - not gaining with air

Cherries in the nose, velvety black currant with a hint of vanilla, oak, earthy on the palate. Quite some tannins and acidity. Will probably age well.

A lovely evening wine, smooth, slight tones of honey, very balanced.

Decanted for about 1.5 hrs.
Colour: very dark ruby red with only a little light able to pass through
Smell: black fruits, chocolate, coffee, plums, cherries
Taste: slightly tannic,l with some fruits coming through. A lot of cacao in the back around and some cedar. Very smooth and long aftertaste in the mouth.

This was the third of 4 reds we had for our main course last night. A Wine without a fuss from the Wine Society bought in 2015. Another dinner guest often buys this in restaurants and loves it, as do I; in fact I like most Pomerol wines Good, medium tannins, very fruity excellent with beef wellington 😁

We are enjoying this wine for about twenty years now. Not always the same vintage of course. It cannot be bad.
