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.
