Château Haut Cloquet
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Picked up 2 bottles of this old mature Bordeaux in a wine shop years ago for next to nothing. The first bottle I had 4-5yrs ago wasn’t that great but given the ps I wasn’t complaining.
Had forgotten I had this second bottle tough and found it the other day. Went in with low expectations (which helped) and was pleasantly surprised. The small pinot glass really helped the wine keep its complex aromas concentrated and serving it slightly chilled accentuated the acidity in a good way giving the wine a bit of freshness on the palate as well. Bruised plums and cassis notes combined with a it of licorice and tobacco. A fun little nightcap of a wine!

Maravilhoso! Mesmo após 16 anos de guarda, um vinho em pleno vigor. Aroma predominante de comoota/geleia de frutas vermelhas.

Nice bouquet, some hard tannins at first. A little bit thin. But the fruit comes through in a little while, 30 minutes. Meh.

Deep violet hue, first Aroma is mild leather and spice, swirl opens up blackberries and anise. Taste is black fruit, plum, and dark cocoa toward the end. Very good wine, lasting finish. Absolutely lovely!

Disappointed. Light in tanin and taste, may need couple of years in the cellar.
