This wine pours a vivid dark crimson core of great concentration and density, hinting at the powerful aromatics to come. The nose is deeply intoxicating and sleek, driven by notes of ripe red plum, spiced cherries, redcurrants, wet rose petals, leather, bay leaf, and gentle touches of clove, wild lavender, and dried clay. The palate boasts a full body with silky, velvet-like textures of opulent red fruit, oak spice, and turned earth. The texture is incredibly soft and the tannins are polished beyond compare—simply put, this Right Bank Bordeaux is drinking deliciously at five years of age, and will continue to gain complexity over the next decade.
“Vincent Priou told me that he had never made a wine with so much alcohol, tannin and acidity, but he’s handled the challenge with aplomb. This is still quite low key for a Pomerol in 2010, showing impressive freshness and balance beneath the succulent fruit flavours and savoury oak. If you like Right Bank wines with elegance, this is a wine to go for. 15+ years."
