---|---|---|---|---|
This is a somewhat under-the-radar, consistently excellent Pomerol that in some vintages has a stylistic kinship with the famous Le Pin. Earthy, deep ruby/plum/purple with notes of forest floor, black cherry jam, licorice and Christmas spices, the wine is medium to full-bodied, opulent, round, juicy and very successful. Soft and round with excellent concentration and purity, drink it over the next 10-15 years. Score: 89 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2015-2030 30 June 2015 |

As I have written many times before, this is one of the most exotic, flamboyant Pomerols produced. It comes close to that of Le Pin ... at one-twentieth the price. A complex bouquet of roasted coffee, caramelized black cherries and blackberries, incense, dried mushrooms, and licorice is followed by a succulent, opulent, voluptuous wine. This stunningly flamboyant, distinctive 2005 can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years. Kudos to proprietor Michel Querre.

Loads of blackberry, chocolate, Indian spices and crushed berries. Full-bodied, with big, juicy tannins and a long, long finish. Best ever from here. Score: 92 - 94 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 30 June 2006 |
