"This still has a very intense, tightly wound nose with pure black fruits with a little tar and tobacco. Rather closed at the moment and probably in need of serious decanting. The palate is just the kind of Pomerol I like: amazingly fresh, harmonious with an unerring sense of symmetry. Masculine, assertive, bold tannins that are still unresolved with layers of blackberry, tobacco, smoke and briary on the long finish. It is definitely one of the great wines of the vintage and if you like elegance and poise, go for this . . . " Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Nov 2008 |
