BELLEGRAVE
Pomerol
Wine Spectator -
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. |

LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
Wine Spectator -
Perfumed and
subtle, with blackberry, chocolate and light vanilla. Full-bodied, yet
not a blockbuster, with wonderful, caressing mouthfeel and a
medium-to-long finish. Balanced and refined. |

LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
Wine Spectator -
Beautiful wine with
blackberry, chocolate and floral aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, with
silky tannins and a pretty finish. Refined and silky. Not a big
Conseillante, but all in finesse and texture. I like it as much as
the 2000 |

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 -
The dark
ruby-coloured 1999 is a beautifully complex, evolved, seductive style of
La Conseillante. The wine exhibits sweet black raspberry and cherry
liqueur notes intermixed with cedar, toasty oak, liquorice, new saddle
leather, and dried herbs. It is medium-bodied with no hard edges,
extremely pure, and almost sweet (from ripe fruit, not sugar). This is a
lush, delicious La Conseillante that merits its reputation as "a
Burgundy from Bordeaux." |

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. |

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. |
