Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend

First 2000 I really like, black fruit, lead pencil, very delineated, has another 20 years to go.

Some nice earthy aromas, but the palate was stale smoked Gouda, and it fell apart with air.

One of the best Bordeaux's I've ever tasted. Very youthful but is approachable now. Nose is intoxicating with blackberry compote, smoke, graphite, menthol, cayenne. Layered complexity on the palate. Big, juicy, I might even say "spicy?" Sooooo much potential in one bottle. Kuruoshi Beef/Ch. Trotanoy Dinner @Pignetti's Restaurant, Temple, TX

The bouquet was remarkably fresh yet formidable with dark ripe cherry, raspberry, floral undergrowth, rich dark soil and mineral tones. Soft textures were offset by tart red fruits, inner florals, earth tones and sweet herbs. It finished fresh with crush cherry, minerals and a hint of lively tannin.

Youthful, structured with a polished, silky mouthfeel that like most 00’s needs more time

This was on the youthful side that is just beginning to enter its drinking window, silky, polished on the palate with hidden tannins showing dark fruits, plum, cassis, graphite, mocha, spice & tobacco

Powerful

Lucky can have a group gathering on nye 2020. They change the rule last min. Decided to open this not ready bottle to celebrate.
Really really good nose. Can really smell perfume and very floral. Oyster shell and mineral. Very good. Bubble gum and stony. Only know what a perfume wine smell like after smelling this one. Wotn and wot year
