Superb vintage in the decade ; purple coulour, expressive nose, ripe with aromas of blackcurrant and fresh prunes. On the palate, the attack is fleshy, followed by velvety tannins and unctuousness. Sovereign balance. Grand wine for laying down

93-96
Delivers a core of anise and red licorice character, with solid grip and definition already and a long, fruit-filled finish. A powerful style of Pomerol

Coup de cur Pomerol
Les vinifications, suivies par Denis Dubourdieu et Valrie Lavigne, cherchent exprimer lclat aromatique et la fracheur de raisins rcolts juste maturit. Les extractions douces confrent suavit et densit aux vins. Cet objectif est remarquablement atteint en 2010, le vin tant un modle clatant du pomerol classique !

Really attractive nose with wild strawberries, raspberries and roses petals. Dark plums and red cherries with some sweet tobacco and black pepper. Full-bodied and intensely juicy on the palate with velvety tannins, and a beautiful finish with licorice and some vanilla from the new wood. So attractive now but leave it alone for four or five years.
