Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — 5 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing much age.
Fruity nose of black fruits, cedar, spices, chocolates and coffee.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, chocolates, earth and Indian spices.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 17 year old Napa Valley Bordeaux blend is drinking beautifully now. Well balanced and elegant. Rich and extracted.
Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
Fruit forward with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
It's always nice to drink wines from the iconic 2007 vintage. Love these Napa Bordeaux blends.

Nicely aromatic & quite ethereal with ripe dark damson plum boosted by aniseed and fleur d’oranger. Some tart cherry, too. Sweet yet savoury with a mineral, dusty core underneath. Enticing.
Medium bodied on the palate, with firm, dusty, fine tannins, framing a nice core of dark cherry and bright super fresh acidity. A hint of wet earth, a hint of baking spice towards the finish.
This is drinking beautifully right now and hinting at something more complex than just a usual sip. All the elements come together, not seamlessly but with really interesting edges. .
A truly lovely & delicious wine. — 10 months ago

Super interesting. Not as acidic and complex. Beautiful on the nose. Straddling between orange and white. — 6 months ago
Flash tasting; no formal notes. The 2018 “Clos du Roy” is a light ruby and showing deeper, darker fruit and more structure than the 2019 “Clos de Chênes” (as it should). Balanced. The finish is also longer and slightly more powerful than the Volnay. Better after 2028 — a year ago
Light and lovely, very easy to drink! No oakiness at all. — 3 years ago

Very good surprise for a wine I expected very little from. Earth, black currant, menthol... Very nice. Superbly balanced palate with a srong acid backbone, some meaty, salty touches, a nice grip and some lively tannins. Some oaky touches here and there too. Long lasting finish with some oak, black currant, and a salty meaty thing. Quite a well crafted pomerol for a very competitive price (around 20€). — 6 years ago
