Abundant sweet cherry and truffle, new saddle leather and spice box notes are present in this medium to full-bodied, supple-textured, silky Pomerol. It is less concentrated than some of the big boys such as Gazin, Le Gay, L’Evangile and Certan de May, but it is an elegant, finesse style of wine to drink over the next 10-15 years. Drink 2015-2030.
Fresh, dense and electric nose. Very flattering and powerful. Complete and flattering. A little dry on the finish but very serious wine. Opulent and velvety. And polished.
Bright full red. Complex, subtle aromas of red fruits, pungent minerals, flowers, licorice and fresh herbs. Sweet, dense and nicely focused, with a sappy, medicinal quality to the dark fruit and mineral flavors. Finishes broad and vibrant if a bit youthfully wound up. This is built to age.
A really delightful wine, harmonious, expressive. Plays on elegance. Beautiful texture, fine tannins, long finish. Drink 2014-2030.
As one might expect from the Moueix family, this is a classic, traditionally styled Bordeaux exhibiting a deep ruby color, medium body, and a sweet perfume of licorice and kirsch that are reminiscent of a Grenache-based wine from the southern Rhone. However, its elegance, freshness, and high but sweet tannin are unmistakably Bordeaux in style. This 2005 should round into shape in 5-8 years, and keep for a minimum of two decades
This beautiful wine is aptly named. Made in a quintessentially elegant style, with layers of black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with plum, licorice, and vanillin characteristics, medium to full body, sweet tannin, good weight and depth, and no hard edges, this impressive Pomerol should be drinkable in 5-7 years, and keep for 20-25.
Made in Pomerol’s quintessentially elegant style, this 2005 reveals pure raspberry and cherry fruit intermixed with spice box, cedar, and licorice. With superb purity, medium body, and stunning concentration, 3-4 years of cellaring will be beneficial, and it should last for 15+.
Extravagant aromas of crushed fruit and flowers. Almost like a young Port. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and a soft and silky tannin structure. Very fine.
Mid healthy crimson. Very mineral nose - almost iron filings - though with lots of rich fruit underneath. Very grainy tannins. Extremely embryonic and sinewy. This one is an athlete, probably a marathon runner. Drink 2017-30
