A beautiful bouquet of sweet black currants, cedar wood, licorice, truffles and kirsch soars from this dense ruby/plum/purple-colored 2012. Round and generously endowed with medium to full body, sweet tannin and an endearing, seductive style, this blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc should keep for 12-15 years.

A very strong effort from this estate in the Jean-Pierre Moueix stable, this 2012 (14.5% natural alcohol) has a dense ruby/purple color, a big, sweet kiss of mocha, blackcurrants, and black cherries, and notes of truffle and earth. Full-bodied, ripe and one of the great successes from this estate over recent decades, the 2012 is a must-purchase for Pomerol enthusiasts. Silky tannins, superb concentration and a long, long finish suggest a good 20+ years of evolution at minimum. Bravo!
