Bought this wine on the basis of the two reviews below and boy was this a disappointment. Classic Pomerol nose but on the palate was earthy, mushroomy and very very tired. Probably very good its day 5+ years ago (I would think) and perhaps even an off bottle but I have one more and I will be doing all I can to sell it.

To use a familiar phrase, this wine was not "life altering", but very close to it. The tannins are well integrated but it still has structure to go at least another 5 years. I managed to break the cork off and it fell into the bottle, but even still this was an exceptional bottle of wine. I went back and bought 2 more to cellar.

I love this nose, full of blackberries, blueberries, something like basil, soil, well balanced, very long , drunk with beef curry in Thailand ;)
