Seems to be at the tail end of its drinking window but drinking well now

Bordeaux is my favorite region but was disappointed with this one. Doesn't taste like a Bordeaux wine and isn't worth the money.

2016 vintage

Hint of Brett(?). Not sure and this opened up eventually but given the vintage, I was expecting more.

2016 vintage

Great Pomerol. Some cocoa bean note, fruit not overpowered. Rich and delicious

Medium bodied, deep blackberry and herb with a touch of smoke and maybe mint? Great companion for beef Wellington. Exactly what I want from Bordeaux at this price point.

2016 vintage

A delightful Pomerol with a bold blue and black berry nose and subtle earthy and herbal overtones typical of Cab Franc. The palate is complex beginning with ripe black berry and plum fruits complemented with earthy notes of tar, tobacco and liquorice and a velvet mouthfeel and delicate tannin finish. An excellent wine in a good place right now that matched up deliciously with juicy lamb steaks.

Bordeaux geek out (Richard's place, Sydney) : Farmyard, with time oak spice notes, sweet soft plums, umami, a little horse shit, menthol notes, leather. Juicy, fleshy, the silkiest whisper of tannins, fruit sweet, the Brett and tertiary notes completes the palate. I enjoyed this far more than my lunchtime companions but i have no issue with Brett (most of the time)

Château Plince (v16, 14% ABV, 72% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc & 5% Cabernet Sauvignon). Must have been five years since I have had it. My loss. Shining for #Bordeaux2024 in all Pomerol glory - balanced to the toes, deep, brooding, fruit-perfected & emerging tertiary. One f those darkish fall evenings, surely. Claret, dense in appearance. Nose with rich, intense notes of black & blue fruit, underveg & earth, dried herbs, smoke & a tad of leather. Velvety, m+-bodied, juicy with …

2016 vintage

A decent wine from Pomerol. Dark fruits, tobacco, leather, mushrooms, and very earthy. Tannins are present with a smooth finish. I enjoyed this wine.

2016 vintage

Super dark fruits, earthy, and tobacco. Perfect balance. Tannins are really great too. Just an outstanding wine.

2016 vintage

Incense, flowers, cherries, and spice fill nose, while the medium-bodied, palate is filled with bright, fresh, vibrant, red cherries, plums, and raspberries. This is a fresh, crisp styled, bright Pomerol. Drink from 2026-2036. 88-90 Pts.

2023 vintage

90-92 Punkte. Eigenständig im Duft, rauchige Noten, dunkler Tabak, Blaubeeren, Cassis; cremige Textur, satte Frucht, seidiges Tannin, gute Länge. Ein äusserst ausgewogener Pomerol, für die mittlere Reife gebaut. (En Primeur Tasting April 2024)

2023 vintage

Smooth not too tannic and still with mint and dark berry flavours

2016 vintage

Full bodied Pomerol. Dense black fruit with tobacco, mushrooms/forest floor. Cedar or cigar box. All with sumptuous tannins. I really enjoyed this one

2016 vintage

Solid Pomerol. Earthy. No wow factor

2016 vintage

I was pretty skeptical buying $35 Pomerol, and now I wish I'd grabbed more. This hints at being great wine, although I found myself wishing it were just a little more refined. Good mix of earth (forest floor, black tea, maybe a little cedar) and dark fruit (cherry, cassis). Moderate body and acidity. Drinkable now, will try my next in a few years.

2016 vintage

Quite good Pomerol. Good structure with plums, red fruits. Forest floor, mushrooms and quite presence of oak. Soft and present tannins. Good QPR

2016 vintage

Nice plush berry fruit, resolved tannins, this is drinking fantastic right now. I think it’s at its peak, it’s not likely to improve much more.

2013 vintage

PNP and this opens up beautifully. Strong profile of leather, licorice and plums. Full bodied, tannic and earthy. Lovely.

Old Bordeaux in Tokyo (Brasserie Paul Bocuse) : With Chatters, Vintomas and Mats @Brasserie Paul Bocuse. Theme: Old Bordeaux. 2023-04-01 Beautifully mature Bdx colour. My blind guess was Pauillac :-) Nose screams of Bdx, with cedar, Bdx earth and black currants. In the mouth is a lovely lovely wine. Panfried shrimp supporting the cassis, earth and mud in a fabulous way. This is up my alley!

1985 vintage

Cellartracker in the flesh with Stefan, Akiko, Mats & Tomas (Paul Boucasse, Tokyo) : "Served blind. A little blood/iron, slight metallic notes, a little fishy and meaty, fresh plums, a little farmyard, leather, agitation makes the spicy notes pop a little and reveals wet stone and a little Ribena. Juicy tending to medium plus intensity acidity, dark hued fruits are savoury, a little herbaceous underpin, tannins are raw silk textured, a little dilute and gamey and a touch short. Hmm …

1985 vintage

Despite the off year, this wine really brings a nice aged Bordeaux with fresh fruit, but some leather, sweaty horse, and tobacco.

2013 vintage

First Wednesday Wine Club (Napoli in Bocca, Haberfield) : "Served Blind. Wet stone and a little cellar stink initially, red over black fruits, iron/blood, a little crushed rock, fruit sweetens with time in the glass. Juicy, fleshy, savoury fruits, crushed rocks, smoky notes, textured burr, slight alcohol warmth. Nice. I knew this was mine."

1985 vintage

on the nose sweet fruit and a hint of damp forest floor smooth and silky .still a bit young , but def. enjoyable

2016 vintage

My rating is 89, at best. Somewhat disappointing.....very one dimensional. I expected a little more. The bottle was open for about an hour and followed by a one and a half hour decant. It did not improve through dinner. Maybe it just needs more time.

2016 vintage

This is a decent Pomerol, but nothing remarkable. saturated garnet, plums, cherry and wood with a decent finish. quite opposite of the plush obvious style you typically find out of California, but lacks finesse and rather foursquare. 86-88

2016 vintage

GG wine tasting. Only tried two glasses but enjoyed this. Plummy, fruit driven.

2016 vintage

Barrel sample. The wine was dark purple in colour and showed red and dark fruit, oak, vanilla, coconut and hints of spice and smoke on the nose and palate, with medium-level acidity, fine tannin and good length. This medium-bodied Pomerol was balanced and smooth and had better concentration than the prior sample (Château d'Angludet, same price). I also preferred this Château Plince to the Clos Dubreuil (90% Merlot) that followed later in the lineup and expect it to drink beautifully …

2016 vintage

Medium bodied, silky, soft and polished, this is a respectable wine with lots of ripe plums, earth and freshness.

2016 vintage

Discreet notes of earth and red plums come alive with coaxing in this light, forward wine showcasing red plum and cherry. 86-88 Pts
