Tasting Notes

89-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 May 96
Good medium color. Very distinctive kirsch and mineral aromas, with a penetrating, iodiney quality. Sweet, concentrated fruit is nicely framed by ripe acidity. Bright and serious. Finishes with substantial but fine and nicely integrated tannins.

Pomerol

Pomerol, a prestigious Bordeaux Right Bank appellation, is famous for luxurious, velvety red wines primarily based on Merlot, often blended with Cabernet Franc. These wines are rich and opulent, with soft tannins and flavours of ripe plum, blackberry, truffle, chocolate, and earthy undertones, featuring a silky texture and lingering finish. Top producers include Château Pétrus, known for its depth and ageing potential; Château Le Pin, celebrated for purity and finesse; and Château La Conseillante and Château Trotanoy, known for elegance and power.
