Changing its color at pouring from red ~ purple ~ garnet. Oak aroma, black currant ample aroma coming from glass. Still young? A bit spicy. Mid concentration. 8.8 at first day. Next day, finally realized that’s nice! This concentration and deep black fruits flavor should be owned by good Pomerol. I don’t know we can feel the same by a few hours decant in first day, but in the young vintage, enough decanting in decanter would be necessary. @8683, Raku - JH, 181229-190202

Super solid. Not a drop everything and buy but very good and a repeat. I think the review below on '13 was right on: good spice and a lot of fruit right at first and then tails off.

Apr 22nd, 2017A terrific effort for the vintage, with surprisingly bright and sweet black currant playing very nicely off gritty tannin in a very nice duet. I don't know how long this precarious balance will hold, but it will be a lot of fun while it lasts.
