Pomerol

Nose that is both fresh and full of roses, rose hips, bright red fruit and compact earth, seems very young. Silky soft though slightly sticky tannin, still has plenty of grip.

Bday Bottle. Did not live up the name

Really never flourished as other older Pomerols do. Remained closed with high acid and tannings. Not bad bottle just not up to the chateaus name unfortunately.

Did not took detailed notes but this is a fresh, elegant, complex and very satisfying Pomerol. One of the best second wines of 1st growths in Bordeaux. 2012 is very much better than the vintage reputation.

Oh my, this is soooo good ! Violets, crushed roses, dark fruits, earthy, medium bodied, long, elegant. This is 1st growth quality and is now good to drink, albeit its obvious it will develop further. One of the best and finest wines fo the vintage. Enthusiastically recommended.

Great showing for one of our preferred wines. There is no rush as the underlying material is barely showing evolution now. Wonderful notes of dark berries, cherries and flowers. Please decant. Has a lot to it with great acidity and tanins and again no rush. Highly recommended !!

One of our preferred wines. A great assemblage of Merlot and Cabernet Franc with great floral notes intertwined with earthy and spicy aromas and flavors. A bomb fruit as well but with very polished tannins and medium body and freshness that’s wonderful with food. Great now but absolutely no rush. This is Pomerol at its best and enthusiastically recommended !

Very dark rubi robe, reticent nose of black fruits and a hint of violet, very dense mouth with good medium length and lovely tannins, good acidity and grip, an excellent Pomerol with lots of potential. Might surprise on the upside. I would hold, if you drink please decant 30 minutes before.

Takes time to open up. But when it does, a wonderful floral wine!
