Le Clos du Beau Père
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Slight nose of dark berries, soil. Taste architecture like a bell curve; soft nothing up feont followed by Cassius, tart red berry that is not overpowering (almost blunted) and then a paradoxical combination of firm tannins on sides of tongue with softening of the fruit. At first i didnt like but it grew on me as the bottle moves towards empty. So as it goes....

Shows it’s thunevin-ousness - sweet sappy fruit, generous oak, warm finish, ripe and heady. For fans of the style

Super beau au nez qui est très classique mais surtout en bouche, soyeux avec une texture riche mais fine en même temps, non dénué de fraîcheur, belle longueur, prix raisonnable pour un Pomerol et qu’on peut apprécier maintenant. 92-93
Very nice classic nose but the palate is even better, silky and fresh texture, finesse and class with still some power and good,potential, nice length as well. Reasonably priced Pomerol that can be enjoyed now also.

Dark fruit, a touch oaky still but still a medium bodied wine, fruit forward with tannins that have a nice texture and some richness to the palate. Very nice QPR.
Fruits noirs, mures, boisé pas tout à fait digéré mais une bouche de corps moyen assez avenante avec un beau fruité assez riche, bouche savoureuse avec des tannins qui ont une belle texture. Très bien pour le prix. 89-90

Tar, hay, earth, leather, a bit of black currant and blue berry. Quite a pomerol classic to be honest. The palate is well done with lots of acid, a good bright fruit, some earthy stickiness/thickness ok the sides, some slightly drying tannins, and a great earthy, fruity, typical pomerol finish. Good not great but providing some satisfaction in its state ;)

Fantastic nose and wonderful and balanced high notes and fruit finish which goes on longer and longer as it matures in the glass.
Still lacks some power in the fruit, with which I would give a higher score. Nonetheless, Thuenvin has definitely arrived in Pomerol.

Smooth milky wine with a black currant nose, very enjoyable wine

Nice plum, blackberry flavors with hints of anise and subtle vanilla.

Jan 5th, 2019Wow what a nose : black currant, hay, gun powder a bit, meat too. Love it. The palate is very balanced. Great acids and lots of fruits. A silky milky pomerol classic touch. Rolling tannins. Long black currant finish that rolls for a long while. Very cool wine
