Pomerol AOC. Always one of my favorite Ch. An open nose - leathery, meaty rather than fruit-based, but not in a bad way. On the palate it has some hedonistic elements- v rounded, lush mouthfeel. A tug-of-war going on between the fruitiness that Merlot provides and a very masculine (and bitter) tannic structure, giving the wine much complexity and potential. Assertive finish. Not ready yet, this one is for the long haul (8.7/10). PS: You can literally see how young the wine is fr the dark inky purple drip stain on the label.
