An interesting Pomerol that seems to have performed better in 2010 than in other vintages I have tasted, it is a blend of three-fourths Merlot and the rest mostly Cabernet Franc, although about 8% Cabernet Sauvignon is also in the blend. Exhibiting some sweet Christmas fruitcake notes along with plum sauce, espresso roast and black cherry fruit, it is medium-bodied, elegant, and best consumed over the next decade.

There is some nobility here. Smooth and polished and just a little restrained within the Pomerol mould. Very suave. But needs lots of time. Very dry (not drying) finish. (JR)
