Difficult following the 2005, although it makes a sterling effort. The nose is much more introverted at the moment, but it gradually unfurls to reveal ripe blackberry, black plum, a touch of black olive and cassis. Excellent definition and purity as usual. The palate is very ripe, almost viscous on the entry with ripe blackberry, cassis, plum and blueberry. Lovely texture, silky smooth tannins, a surprisingly amount of glycerine towards the finish. The is a superb Pomerol with amazing persistency and grip, just lacquering the mouth with pleasure. Sublime. Drink 2015-2040.
