Deep colour, still young. Expressive nose of ripe black fruits. Same signature expression on the palate which reveals seductive fullness, fine-grained tannins and lingering fruit on the finish. A wine with breeding really beginning to reveal itself. (21-Jun-2010)
Pomerol is a much-respected red wine appellation in the Bordeaux region of south-western France. Both historically and physically, it stands apart from other Bordeaux appellations. It does not conform to the accepted image of a Bordeaux wine district as being a wealthy, long-established, chateau-laden area, with an all-important (if slightly outdated) classification system. Pomerol is none of these things, yet has managed to earn itself a place among the world's most revered wine region.
A ripe, fresh style, with a juicy core of blackberry and raspberry fruit backed by ample mocha, licorice snap and incense hints. There's solid grip on the mineral-tinged finish.
