Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
These are pop ‘n pour notes. Will update tomorrow. For now, the color is dense and youthful. Nose reluctantly gives up deep ripe cassis and berry notes, moist clay, cedar, and pretty red florals. Dense in the mouth, and still pretty tannic, but there is very nice depth of fruit behind the stern texture and dry profile. Still several years to go before peak. For now, 9.2. Could be significantly higher later.
DAY 2: It’s opened and softened some, but the tannins, while settling, are still there. This suggests to me that at least 3 or more years are needed before the peak plateau is reached.

The first night it kind of got a little overwhelming to be perfectly honest. I had to call it quits and try it again a couple of days later and then I finally got the smoky and earthy and savory flavors. The structure is definitely there and it takes some time to unwind. Very tight very expressive Wine, definitely enjoyed it.
