Nose very nice with plumbs, currants and earth. Palate with red and black cherry, earth, but perhaps lacking a bit of fruit and depth. Medium tannins and finish. Buy the '15 for a few bucks more.
4/20/7/3/3+50 = 87 pts.

I celebrated another year on this planet earlier this week, always glad when I am continuing to count days gone by! Some fun stuff in the works for tonight.
Dusty cherry, graphite, minimal wood influence.

Part of a lineup of 10 european wines my wife arranged for a birthday tasting with a number of friends.
Flavors come alive with a ribeye
Nose of black fruits and some earth and pepper notes. Dark flavors of blackberry and some tar and plums are a bit muted, but will likely improve with some time in the bottle. Finishes with dark fruits and dusty tannins.
3/20/8/4/4 +50=89 pts.
Will likely improve a couple of points with age to the 90-91 range. Not on the same level as the 2009.

A nice easy drinking Bordeaux table wine. Lots of dark berry and cassis fruit, medium bodied with light tannins and a short finish. A tasty, good value every day drinker.

Léon Nony bought the vineyard in 1939, after his death in 1959, his son, Michel, then his grandson, Jean-Marc, continued his work. A blend of Merlot (93%), Cab Franc (4%) and Cab Sauv (3%), aged in French oak (25% new). Dark red with purple tones and aromas of dark berry fruits and cedar notes. On the palate blackberry flavor with toasty oak, spice and cacao. Attractive tannins, nice balance, lingering, ending with an oaky earthy character.

Had the 2006 vintage. Very smooth and elegant, no bite from the tannins. Aged exceptionally well.

Not familiar with this wine but I figured how can you go wrong with a 61 Pomerol. Aromatic nose that you could smell for hours. Sweet red berry & plum fruits, so spicy and floral with licorice, leather and tobacco. This is so fresh and young drinking like a great 82!
