Tasting Notes

87
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 May 99
Saturated deep ruby. Expressive aromas of cherry, raspberry, iron and game, with smoky and floral notes. Sweet, dense and musky; has size and concentration but seems a bit heavy. Finishes with chewy but even tannins that reach most of the palate.

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.
