Dark, almost black colour, with hints of purple. Dense, lingering, expressive, very ripe, concentrated nose with notes of Morello cherries, raspberries and mocha. The attack is powerful and concentrated with very ripe, terrifically dense tannins. The palate is mature, rich and concentrated with a very silky finish, supported by a delightful freshness.

Reviewer: Ian d'Agata

(89% merlot and 11% cabernet franc; 3.75 pH; 14.7% alcohol) Opaque purple-ruby. Deep, rich aromas of black plum, violet, licorice and chocolate. Extremely broad and impressively large-scaled, with almost shocking sweetness to the jammy red and black fruit flavors. This huge, extract-rich Pomerol comes across as dense and luscious, but may prove almost too much for some wine lovers. The long finish features refined, smooth tannins. I did not get to taste the estate's second wine this year, Blason d'Evangile, as only 6,000 bottles were made and it won't be offered en primeur
