Unfortunately this particular bottle was past its prime. Great nose, though. 1966 vintage.

Ready to drink but I think it would go downhill later years. Grass, mineral, strong herb smell on the nose with long finished.

My favourite Pomerol in a top year & one of their best vintages 👍 @ £190 this will live a couple more decades & get better & better 😍

🍇 90% Merlot & 10% Cab S

🍷 Garnet ruby w/ brick edge

👃 Alluring seductive heady nose of creamy dark spiced plum mashed into soft smoked oak & cedar w/ wet earth, liquorice & black berry fruits - nostralic 💥

👄 Med body of smooth silky ripe dark plum, black berries & touch of red cherry in an earthy fine dry tannins w/ a liquorice & mocha tone

🎯 Long deep plum & dark berry touch dry earthy soft liquorice coating

Funky nose at the beginning but it was gone soon. Barnyard, bell pepper, bacon, leather, sweet cinnamon, coffee followed with good red fruits. Soft and resolved tannin, just beautiful. Bright acidity. Drinking this is like appreciating an oil painting from a master. Very impressive and elegant. 1996 vintage
