Silky, long, fresh, vibrant, and packed with ripe, black cherries, dark plums, truffle, chocolate, and spice. The wine needs a bit of time to better integrate. If it does, my score could move up. The wine blends 85% Merlot with 15% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2040. 92-94 Pts.

With a dark hue the wine is silky, rich, lush and supple. Medium-bodied with an earthy, cocoa-infused, ripe, deep plum character, the long finish is already displaying its chocolate tinged, black cherries, plum, spice, espresso and licorice character. Give it some time to develop additional complexities in the cellar before pulling the cork. 91-93 Pts

Fresh, silky, lively, fresh and floral, the wine is elegant and refined in its delivery of earthy, truffle-laden, dark cherry, plum, licorice, espresso and chocolate character. Medium-bodied, the wine finishes with layers of silky-textured, red fruits and cocoa. This is my favorite vintage of Bourgneuf yet. Drink from 2024-2042.

Much better from bottle than it showed in barrel, (Which is always a good thing) the wine is deeply colored with truffle, chocolate, black plums and dark cherries, The wine is round, juicy and silky with plush deep red fruits in the finish. This could be the finest vintage ever produced here.

Earthy red fruits and fennel come through quickly in this medium-bodied, bright, red berry-filled, soft, forward wine. I like the hit of cocoa in the finish. 90-92 Pts

Medium bodied, bright, forward and eager to show its spicy, earthy, red berry-filled slice of Pomerol, this wine should drink well close to its release.

Earthy, spicy cherries, medium-bodied with a soft, polished, red berry center. Not very deep, but the wine still manages to show much more elegance than usual. 88 - 90 Pts

Austere, old school style of Pomerol is rough in texture and lacking in ripenes, fruit and charm. There is some red fruit, and hints of spice and earth, but the style of the wine did not thrill me.
