One of my favorite wine from this chateau, as well as from a vintage that remains somewhat underrated. Sweet black fruits intermixed with earth, charcoal, licorice and compost jump from the glass of this medium-bodied, deep, beautifully extracted Pomerol that has a real Medoc structure to it. The wine is sweet, relatively evolved, and just beginning to enter its plateau of full maturity. Anticipated maturity: Now-2015. Last tasted, 1/02.
