...plenty of sweet kirsch, herb, truffle, and earthy notes emerge from the wine’s complex, explosive aromatics, as well as beautiful glycerin and sweetness...
(90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc; 12.7% alcohol):..aromas of red cherry, strawberry jam, sweet herbs, faded flowers and leather..Large scaled and creamy..smoothly tannic..lingering spiciness..still has some positive evolution ahead of it.
...A coulis of raspberry and cherry on the nose. Juicy and penetrating...with superb clarity and structure and lovely restrained sweetness. A subtle floral quality adds complexity...firmer and classier than most top right-bank '82s...
Not quite as grand as I remember, but still a rich, pretty Pomerol. Dark ruby-garnet color, with tobacco, cherry and earth character. Full-bodied and concentrated, with firm tannins and a long, ripe fruit and dark chocolate finish.
...very good...a perfectly rich drink.
