Again Pomerol wine. First time to try this wine which gives me deep impression.
TN: Very deep purple in colour , almost opaque, oaky, very strong cassis aroma, first sip, wow, powerful, very
powerful, a structural wine, very full-bodied, special bitter chocolate taste, the abundant fruit as well as
layers of ripe tannins cascade your taste buds and you don't feel burn despite the high alc. content. Finish
goes on and on. Compared with l'eglise-clinet 95', this one won my heart. Both in price and quality. Highly
recommended.
Should have bought some more. BTW, I 've read about comments on this wine in the book written by 麥
X 才 who had made lukewarm remarks and said this was only so so. I disagree!

Thank you very much for the recommendation.
Where did you get it from ? Is the wine still available for sale ?

Thank you 61 兄！ 作者: tailawyau 時間: 2009-8-18 12:51
thanks for your tasting note, bro latour61
not sure if it is the vintage's effect
for the vintages i have tasted (forget it was 98 or 99, and the other one was 2002)
the wine is really just so-so and rather parkerized
the heavily oaked taste is just like California wines...
if 2000 is performing that nice, i am interested to get one for a try
thanks again for your nice notes 作者: latour61 時間: 2009-8-18 21:24 標題: 回復 5# 的帖子
C hing, I agree with you that the vintage 2000 plays an important role on this obscure chateau so that she performed this well. Undoubtedly, vintage is crucial to a wine, especially a claret. So I always stick to buying wines which come from excellent to outstanding vintages strategy. 作者: kenzo1111 時間: 2009-8-21 23:40
my strategy are;
1) good vintage, drink fair chateau , even good chateau second wine, to get most value.
2) poor vintage, drink prestigous chateau with cheaper price. the wine should be good still.
