Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
The largest property in Pomerol, this wine is composed of about 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. I found it to be very graceful for a Pomerol and the opposite of the big, oaky, heavy, high alcohol wines that have proliferated in the era of the big points wine critics. It had a pure plumy Merlot character with some new leather and basil like herbal elements. It was medium bodied and very easy to drink. Although it seemed to have time in hand, I think it might have been one of the most ready to drink wines of the night.

Fully developed and ready to drink. Well made but lacks the fruit and richness you find with the top names. Red fruit, red hots, woodsy.
