Château Maillet
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
2019 vintage. New kid on the block in Pomerol, (first vintage 2015). Tiny production, vinification intégrale. Concentrated and profound,with a serious structure of well-tamed tannin. Amazing freshness makes the very high alcohol level (15% abv.go unnoticed.

From magnum. Smoking good. Streamlined, detailed, and direct, with good structure and excellent focus. Tight and tense, wound up, with rose and oak spice on the nose and a core of red cherry, licorice, cocoa and mint on the palate. The tannin work is fabulous here, they're present but ripe, giving framework but in now way drying or tiresome. Fresh and firm. Big fan of this.

Chocolate covered cherries, char, and medium tannins. A winner for sure!

Deep garnet to purple colored right Bank Bordeaux. Pronounced aromas of black cherry/raspberry/plum and blueberry with hints of cocoa and violets. Generous palate features plum and blackberry compote with some of that cocoa note. Hint of cedar on the velvety finish. Chewy tannins. Full bodied, rich and nicely structured.

From Dave and Anita. Delicious! Incredibly smooth and balanced. Medium tannins. Long finish. One of the better wines I’ve ever had.

Wow this is big. Hopefully in five years or so it will begin to develop some interesting notes. We will see!

Great pizza wine but not showing much Bordeaux complexity, at least not yet. Very new world, this presents like a young Napa cab sans some tannin.

Probably a little young but still enjoyable.
