Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend

Magnum

Thanks to Chuck for this delicious Pomerol. Decant and enjoy. Very pretty, velvety even

Gorgeous.

"The worst characteristics of the 1975 vintage came to mind when I tasted this hard, lean, tannic, attenuated, sinewy 2000. If it does not fill out, it will not even merit the estimated score. (75-79)." -RMP
Enthusiastic re-buy!!! JQBOXLER

The cork split so we decanted and filtered it carefully. Ruby colors. Forest floor and toasted sawdust. Plum and some licorice. Barely any tannins.

In a perfect place. Tasty Bordeaux.

Amazingly beautiful Pomerol for the price.

Super old school. Dark reddish purple, fading slightly at the rim but otherwise no sign of development. Cherry, smoke, black tea and herbs on the nose. Chewy tannins, creamy red fruit, tobacco leaf, menthol, a touch bitter on the finish. Needs a charred piece of cow flesh and/or another decade.

You'll love it if you like earthly, pencil shaving left bank blends
