Relatively pale ruby. Very heady, meaty, gamey nose. Neat, contained palate in classical mould. Quite intense. But the opposite of showy. Long and noble. Very grown up and sophisticated. Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2010-2022 01 March 2011 |

A very deep garnet core. The bouquet does not quite have the clarity of the Latour-a-Pomerol 2001: notes of blackberry, dusty antique shop, gravel and field mushroom. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshier entry than Latour-a-Pomerol, lovely grainy texture with pure red-berried fruit, touches of chestnut, mushroom and a little thyme. Nice focus and tension, the finish is better than the nose suggests. Good weight and tannic presence on the finish, with a bitter note of dried orange peel that dries out the mouth and curses you for not taking another sip sooner. Very fine. Score: 93 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2012-2025 01 May 2009 |
