Tasting Notes
Vinous 87-90
Ruby-purple. Black cherry, licorice, violet and a hint of truffle on the nose. Juicy and lively on the palate, showing good cut to its delicate blackberry, spice and coffee flavors. This fruit-driven wine offers moderate flesh and a smooth, peppery finish of good but not outstanding length.
Robert Parker 93
A pretty, elegant wine that is 100% Merlot but a very limited production (around 700-800 cases in most years), the 2010 displays good integration of oak and mulberry, plum and black raspberry fruit intermixed with some licorice, underbrush, vanillin and spice box. This is a voluptuously textured, round, seductive style of Pomerol to drink over the next 12-15 years.
