*Pomerol Panel Tasting*
Judges' scores: Stephen Brook 18.5, James Lawther MW 16.5, Stephen Spurrier 17.5
Nicely concentrated Pomerol nose; shows real depth. This is forthright and energetic, with plenty of spice and zest on the long finish. Ripe, rounded, fleshy and opulent, with hefty but ripe tannins and good balancing acidity. Delicious fruit.
Surprisingly good, with soft, round textures and plenty of fresh, ripe plums, black cherry, dark chocolate and espresso. Drink this medium bodied, plush wine now, or age it a few years for more complexity. For Pomerol, where everything is expensive, this offers good value.
