Blackish crimson. Very developed nose. Sweet start and then very awkward pinched palate with lots of acidity. Some greenness. (JR)
Rich and sweet but not very refreshing. A bit raisiny. Surely picked very very ripe? Not very long. (JR)
Beautiful aromas of plums, soy, black currants, black raspberries, espresso, and spring flowers jump from the glass of this perfumed, dense plum/ruby/purple-tinged Pomerol. Medium to full-bodied and pure with sweet tannin and impressive extract, it will benefit from 2-3 more years of bottle age, and should last for an additional two decades.
About the producer
With Ronan Laborde at the helm, this property has become one of Pomerol’s most sought-after. He has increased the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, which historically represented half the vineyard area here.
