Tasting notes
Overripe black cherry, licorice, smoke and green, unripe tannins are the signatures in the 2015 Plince. I would prefer to drink this hearty, burly Pomerol over the next few years, as its balance is precarious and likely to only deteriorate with time.

A blend of 74% Merlot and and 26% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Plince reveals a medium garnet-purple color and opens with notes of new leather, cigar box and game over a core of red and black currants and sautéed herbs. Medium-bodied, it gives mouth-filling savory flavors with just enough chew and satisfying length.
Another terrific Pomerol from the Moueix team and based on 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Château Plince offers the sexy, approachable style of the vintage as well as lots of sweet red and black fruits, underbrush, and hints of vanilla. This medium-bodied 2015 has surprising elegance, as well as silky texture, and it’s already hard to resist. Drink it over the coming decade.
A Jean-Pierre Moueix wine. 74% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc. Siliceous on an iron pan. Nutty nose with very broad, sweet fruit and lightly astringent tannins. A bit of oak in evidence. Needs time. (JR)
