Note di degustazione
Even though this is made from 100% Merlot, there is a firm, stoic quality to the wine. More interesting in the nose, with its truffle, black and red plum, espresso, thyme and cherry nose, than on the still masculine palate, time could help with this wine, but it will always be on the strict side of the style range for Pomerol.

This limited-production, 100% Merlot cuvee is a beauty. Sweet, almost caramelized black cherry fruit and dark mountain berries intermixed with forest floor and a touch of subtle oak characterize this full-bodied, rich, concentrated, superb Pomerol that should hit its stride in 3-4 years and last for two decades. Unfortunately, the production is only about 1,500 cases.
Deep crimson. Thick meaty nose. Very lively and racy with lots of density and fine sandy tannins on the finish. Deep flavoured already but with a racy finesse too. Tasted after Pétrus it seemed to have more intensity… (JR)
Ruby-red. Ripe, sweet aroma of cherry liqueur. Lush, silky and sweet, with thoroughly ripe, mouthcoating flavors of cherry, minerals and bitter chocolate. Broad, deep and persistent, with smooth tannins. Along with La Fleur-Petrus and Hosanna, this property was harvested before the heavy rain of September 16 and virtually tastes like it's from another vintage.
