Tasting Notes

90-93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 May 96
Excellent medium-deep color. Spicy cassis, cinnamon, clove and bitter chocolate on the rather restrained nose. Dense, spicy and perfumed in the mouth; a rich style of VCC, with lovely inner-mouth flavor and style. Expansive on the back end, though there's a minty touch of austerity that adds grip and complexity to a very ripe wine.

Pomerol Fine Wine

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.
