BELLEGRAVE
Pomerol

A sleeper of the vintage,
with impressive aromas of blackberry, cherry and black olive.
Full-bodied, with lots of fruit and chewy tannins. Tight but long on the
finish. Clearly outstanding. |

CLOS l'EGLISE
Pomerol
ST -
Good rich red-ruby
colour. Brooding aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, mocha,
menthol, liquorice and smoky, nutty oak. Plush, large-scaled and sweet,
with thick, mouth coating flavours of black cherry, dark berries and
flowers. Full but not heavy, and impressively deep for the year.
Finishes broad and pliant, with fine, chocolatey tannins and lovely
persistence. A beauty! |

LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
RP -
This big, juicy,
spicy Pomerol exhibits aromas and flavours of mulberries, raspberries,
violets, liquorice, and a touch of herbs. Made in a medium-bodied,
upfront style, this round, seductive wine should drink well for 7-10
years. |

LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
RP -
La Conseillante
has been hitting on all cylinders over the last several vintages, and
the 2006 may rival both the 2005 and 2000. Made in an atypical
broad, fleshy style, it exhibits a dark ruby/purple hue, plenty of
structure and tannin, but superb concentration. Usually a
Burgundian-styled, elegant effort, the rich, well-textured 2006 is a
bigger, more blockbuster example displaying a deep ruby/plum/purple
colour. It requires 2-4 years of cellaring, and should last for two
decades. Bravo! |

LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
Wine Spectator -
This is decadent
and wild on the nose, with fresh cèpe, raw steak and wild berry.
Full-bodied, with loads of velvety tannins, yet refined and caressing in
every way. A beautiful, balanced red. The best young wine ever from
this producer. |

LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
RP -
A tremendous
effort, and certainly the best La Conseillante since the marvellous duo
of 1989 and 1990, this deep ruby/plum/purple-coloured wine offers up
notes of blackberries and kirsch liqueur intermixed with liquorice,
incense, spice box, and copious amounts of toasty oak. It is a
relatively powerful effort for La Conseillante, with more tannin and
structure than most vintages possess.
As the wine sits in the glass, black raspberries, blueberries, smoke
along with floral notes emerge. There is tremendous purity, medium to
full body, great precision and concentration. |

LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
RP -
An evolved dark
plum/garnet colour is followed by captivating, sexy, raspberry, soy,
Asian spice, kirsch liqueur, and toasty vanillin aromas. While not a
blockbuster, this opulently-textured, medium-bodied effort is a model
of elegance, harmony, finesse, and complexity. This wine's low
acidity as well as wonderfully ripe fruit invite immediate consumption. |

LES CRUZELLES
Lalande a
Pomerol
RP -
This lower pedigree
wine represents undeniable quality/value rapport in 2005. This
vintage is so deep in quality among the better run, less heralded
estates, that these wines should appeal to readers looking for terrific
values from Bordeaux. |

This Château was
purchased in 2000 by Denis Durantou of Eglise Clinet, who ages
the crop in 50% new oak.
Often better than many Pomerols and Saint Emilions that we have tasted,
yet moderately priced thanks to the appellation. |

L'EGLISE CLINET
Pomerol
RP -
Unquestionably
the Pomerol of the vintage, the dense purple-coloured 2007
l’Eglise-Clinet offers an astonishing display of rich, liquorice and
caramel-infused kirsch, black raspberry, and cassis fruit. Rich,
full-bodied, and pure, with low acidity and ripe tannin, it is already
offering delicious drinking, and should continue to do so for 15-20
years. Kudos to proprietor Denis Durantou. |

LA FLEUR DE GAY
Pomerol
RP -
As I wrote last
year, this is unquestionably the finest La Fleur de Gay produced since
the back-to-back vintages of 1989 and 1990. A 100% Merlot cuvee cropped
at a low 28 hectoliters per hectare, it has put on even more weight and
richness since 2006.
There are approximately 1,000 cases of this brilliant Pomerol that
exhibits a dense ruby/purple colour as well as a sweet nose of black
raspberries, blueberries, charcoal, truffles, and subtle espresso and
toasty oak notes. Full-bodied, beautifully textured, opulent, and fleshy
with exceptional precision as well as clarity, this fabulous effort will
need 5-7 years of bottle age, and should drink well for 25 or more
years. |

LA FLEUR PETRUS
Pomerol
RP -
This beautiful
wine is aptly named. Made in a quintessentially elegant style, with
layers of black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with plum,
liquorice, and vanillin characteristics, medium to full body, sweet
tannin, good weight and depth, and no hard edges, this impressive
Pomerol should be drinkable in 5-7 years, and keep for 20-25. |

LE GAY
Pomerol
RP -
One of the
vintage’s most astonishing wines, this superb effort boasts a dense
plum/blue/purple colour, aromas of camphor, graphite, roasted meats, and
black as well as blue fruits, a full-bodied, powerful style, low
acidity, ripe tannin, and excellent concentration. Give this beauty 3-4
years of bottle age, and enjoy it over the following two decades. It has
the potential to be one of the vintage’s longest lived wines. Kudos to
the proprietor, Catherine Pere-Verge, and her winemaker, Michel Rolland,
for exploiting this property to its fullest potential. |

LATOUR a POMEROL
Pomerol
RP -
The 1995 Latour
a Pomerol should develop into an outstanding wine, but it was
revealing considerable grip and structure following bottling. It
possesses a dark ruby/purple colour, as well as a distinctive nose of
smoked herbs, black fruits, iron, mulberries, and spice. The wine is
generous, ripe, and mouth filling, with medium to full body, and
excellent richness and purity, but the wine's tannic clout and
slight bitterness kept it from receiving an outstanding score. |

LE MOULIN
Pomerol
RP
- As I have written many times before, this is one of the most exotic,
flamboyant Pomerol's produced.
It comes close to that of Le Pin ... at one-twentieth the
price.
A complex bouquet of roasted coffee, caramelized black cherries and
blackberries, incense, dried mushrooms, and liquorice is followed by a
succulent, opulent, voluptuous wine. This stunningly flamboyant,
distinctive 2005 can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years. Kudos
to proprietor Michel Querre. |
