This offers a beautifully ripe, attractive and polished impression with a sense of effortless power on the palate that sets it in the top league of 2016 Pomerol wines.

This has a lush edge, with raspberry and plum sauce notes forming the core. A light brambly hint gives it spine, while a fruitcake note lingers. On the showy side, but has enough energy to keep you coming back.
