Tasting Notes: The Essence of Pomerol

• Appearance: Deep garnet-purple color.
• Nose: Rich and complex, bursting with dark fruit preserves (black cherry, stewed plum, blackberry), layered with luxurious notes of vanilla, cedar, mocha, and a hint of fragrant, earthy minerality.
• Palate: Full-bodied and beautifully structured. The mouthfeel is velvety and sensual, showcasing silky tannins and a core of concentrated, ripe fruit. The finish is persistent, powerful, and impeccably balanced, leaving a lingering impression of spice and cocoa.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Decant for an hour to fully unlock its potential and serve at 62-65°F (16-18°C).

• Food Pairing: Perfect with Prime Rib, Beef Tenderloin with a Mushroom Reduction, Truffle-infused dishes, or a high-quality aged Cheddar.
• Cellaring: Enjoy now with decanting, or cellar for 10-15+ years to experience its full, mature complexity.
