This is certainly one of the great 2012s from Pomerol. What’s amazing is that it is 100% Merlot. Superb terroir and incredibly well-placed on the plateau of Pomerol, adjacent to Petrus and across the road from Lafleur. It is inky purple in colour, with a glorious nose of black fruits, an unctuous texture, and a full-bodied mouthfeel.
