Mmmmmm. The first time I had a glass of Pomerol was in the town square of neighboring St. Emilion. This brings back that magnificent experience. Rich, smooth, with that unique Pomerol taste with a hint of licorice. Wonderful length too. Ready now.

Surprisingly delicious (a word not used nearly enough by wine writers..which is odd since it's exactly what we want a wine to be). Very well made, very well balanced. Great nose of berries, spice, oaky vanilla, a touch of pencil shavings. Great flavour density, plenty of smooth ripe tannin. This will last for years but it is fairly open and complex right now. An overachiever for it it's class. If you want to know a good Pomerol tastes like, spend $77 and find out.

My kind of wine.
