For £28 & 11 Years age this is a decent ripe Pomerol but may be too oaky for many & lacking a little complexity but that said it’s an OK drop at this price 😁 next doors cat didn’t mind though 😺

The color is inky purple. The nose has blueberries, blackberries with a woodsy scent. On the palate I am tasting blackberries and good dark fruit with a smokey finnish. Velvety mouth feel with silky tannins. I am very pleased with this Right Bank Bordeaux. For someone who loves the Left Bank wines this Right Bank has turned my head.

Very rich with dark fruit flavours. After decanting got a little over oxidized towards the end

Apr 22nd, 2019Un peu trop terreux et capiteux, plus de puissance que de subtilité. Chf 85 • Restaurant Les 3 Suisses, Jongny.

熟れた黒系過日
リコリス、トリフ、白胡椒、腐葉土、スモーキーで複雑。香りの要素が多くて素晴らしい

May 20th, 2017Black tea, dark chocolate, oak, pomegranate. Big, concentrated juice with velvety tannins on the palate. A little boring and predictable at the start but shows a lot of more complexity after 1 hour of decanting. Hints of fennel and tarragon on the finish.
