Tasting profile
A complex, age-worthy Pomerol showing dark chocolate, black cherry and ripe red fruits layered with spice, cigar box, earth and floral violet notes. Medium to full-bodied with velvety, silky tannins and a remarkably long, smooth finish - elegant, balanced and aging gracefully.

From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It showed a lovely, deep, concentrated colour in the decanter, with an almost inky appearance. On the palate it has a full, not-quite creamy character, with a very grippy, precisely laid-out structure. Finely extracted, with lovely body and full, rich texture, this wine has a beautifully seductive style. Initially so stylish, the midpalate is where it reveals a little more tannin and precise acidity.
