Tasting Notes
A sleeper of the vintage, this impressively run, small Pomerol estate has turned out a fruit-driven (loads of black cherries and cassis) 2005 revealing notions of smoke, licorice, and wood. It is a plump, corpulent, fleshy, expansive wine to enjoy during its first 10-12 years of life. By Robert Parker This has a subtle nose of mineral, blackberry and licorice. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a fruity, silky texture on the finish. Smoky even. Best after 2014.
