Robert Parker, February 2013, Score: 87
Showing better than it did from barrel (thankfully), this wine has a nice hint of camphor, damp earth, licorice, truffle and spice box. There is some mulberry and black fruit, and the wine has a certain minerality, but again, it comes across as slightly chunky, muscular and masculine. The tannins argue for giving it 4-5 years of cellaring and drinking it within the following 10-12 years.Drink: 2017-2029

Robert Parker, May 2011, Score: 84-86
Coarse tannins, less than stunning concentration (somewhat surprising for a 2010) and a distinctive earthy, autumnal, vegetative character are found in this medium-bodied, chunky Pomerol. Drink it over the next 7-10 years.Drink: 2013-2021

Vinous, May 2011, Score: 89-92
Deep purple-tinged ruby. Telltale flamboyant Bourgneuf aromas of red cherry, dark plum, fig, coriander and Oriental spices. Enters fresh, then turns sweet and dense in the middle, showing very good depth to the red and black fruit flavors. An element of stony minerality adds further complexity on the long, creamy finish. An excellent Bourgneuf: if the peppery tannins didn't turn just a bit tough at the back, I would have scored this even higher.
Region
Pomerol
The small sub-region of Pomerol is situated north-east of the industrious city of Libourne. Pomerol's soils are predominately iron-rich clay with a smattering of gravel that produce wines with extraordinary power and depth. As a result of this clay-dominance, it has the highest percentage of Merlot planted in all of Bordeaux. Certain châteaux are produced exclusively from this grape, but most incorporate smaller quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as well. Despite its hefty (if not exclusive) proportion of Merlot, many people think of wines from this region as separate entities. As one wine aficionado stated recently, "It's not Merlot. It's Pomerol." Despite the region's small size, Pomerol contains some of the world's most sought after (and expensive) wines including Pétrus, Le Pin, Lafleur, l'Evangile and Vieux Château Certan. Unlike other Bordelais subregions, there is no system of classification. The châteaux are traded on reputation alone.
