Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A dark grippy structured version with a strong charcoal spine running through the core of dark fig steeped plum and black currant fruit. Loam and bittersweet cocoa notes check in on the finish endowed with ample buried acidity. Should stretch out pleasantly but this will need a little more time than most other 2011 Pomerols to round into form. Best from 2017 through 2027.
Vinous: 91 Points
Menthol scents emerge with time. The palate is spicy on the entry a little richer in style than its peers good body and depth with a savory white pepper and clove finish. Peaking now though it will give several years more drinking pleasure. A second bottle poured is much better. Cleaner and more focused on the nose earthy red fruit mixes with hoisin and truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins fresh and focused with a delineated finish this is one of the few to offer a touch of mineralité. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting. - By Neal Martin on September 2021
