I like it right away. Sort of like the forest floor, with mushrooms. Has grip, tannins – almost dusty tannins. Turns to coffee; I like the way it changes in the glass. Open, soft, spices, and some tobacco. Very beautiful, open wine. JS
Readers looking for an unabashedly exotic, seductive, sexy Pomerol should check out this 100% Merlot cuvee from Christian Moueix. Its dark ruby/plum color is accompanied by an unbridled display of sweet black and blue fruits and spring flowers. Full-bodied and opulent with silky tannins and juicy fruit. RP
