Performing better from bottle than it did from cask, the dark plum/purple-colored 2000 reveals sweet black cherry fruit intermixed with hints of loamy soil, spice, and earth. The wine has filled out nicely, offering good flesh and attractive purity in a plump, hedonistic Pomerol style. Anticipated maturity: now-2012.
A nose of graphite, undergrowth and black plum here, poised between youth and maturity. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a core of black fruit and a mineral edge. The tannins are polished as you would expect from a mature Pomerol, and this wine diplays a good balance between ripe fruit, dried flowers and a leathery, more mature note on the finish.
