Starting off with a showy, licorice tinged, perfume with ripe black, red and blue fruit, coffee and toasty oak. Very polished and sexy with more structure than previous vintages allowing this to age and evolve.

Jammy dark berries, licorice, coffee and spicy scents abound. Round, opulent and sensous in the mouth, this rich, sexy wine is very seductive.

At full maturity, this medium bodied, flamboyant, lushly textured wine is filled with licorice, black raspberries, plum, chocolate and wet earth characteristics.

Incredibly seductive says it all. Pure silk and opulent textures allow the perfectly ripe, black cherries, plums, chocolate, licorice and truffle notes to shine. It's good to know that my last bottle was pulled when this is drinking at peak.

My last bottle from the case, as well as the final bottle of La Gomerie in my cellar, as the wine is no longer being made. The attention seeking nose serves up chocolate mint, black cherry, licorice and earthy aromas. Soft and silky, medium/full bodied and fully mature, there is no reason to hold this for further development as it feels like the fruit is about to gently slip from its peak, based on my memory of previous bottles. The wine was made from 100% Merlot.

The color is still dark. The licorice, black cherry, earth and subtle jam aromas pair well with the plush, round, silky, lush textures. Popped and poured, the wine filled out in the glass after 30 minutes.

This floods your pleasure centers with mounds of black raspberry, licorice, minerals, mocha and spice. Soft, plush, elegant and opulent, this full bodied wine feels great as it fills your mouth with intense fresh black plum and blackberry flavors. Close to fully mature, this will probably drink best over the next decade.

This delivered a lot of black, plummy fruit, licorice and spice on the nose with intriguing hints of minerals. Opulent, soft and plush on the palate with a fresh silk laden finish.

Medium-bodied, with more fragrance than fruit, the wine is in a gentle state of fading, making it time to drink up, before the remainder of the soft textured, fresh, lifted red fruits and thyme go missing.

The ball rolling with a spicy, coffee, mocha fennel nose further complicated by black and blue fruits. The full bodied 100% Merlot wine has taken on secondary characteristics. The tannins have melted away. Plush, lush and stylishly sexy, this is a wine for hedonists.

Dark cherry, herb, raspberry, licorice scents make up the pefume. This round, silky, opulent wine finishes with ample ripe, dark chocolate and plum notes.

Shiny, black, purple color with slight pinking around the edges. Licorice, Blackberries, plums, wood, truffles, coffee, and chocolate mint ice cream excite the nose. This is a beautiful perfume. Full bodied, low acid, with lots of glycerin and no discernible tannin. Personally, I wish it had more backbone so it could age.

The debut vintage for La Gomerie is firm, with a tannic edge, as are most wines from the vintage. The wine lacks the plush, rich textures and layers of fruit found in most subsequent vintages.

Better on the nose than the palate with its earthy, dark chocolate, plum, mushroom and black cherry nose. The wine is soft in texture, but there is a dryness to the tannins that is peeking through into the finish that mars the finish, giving the wine a slight brawny quality. I’d drink this sooner than later to retain the remaining fruit.
