...the terroir just seems to produce silky, elegant wines, but in this case, the 2009 has an extra kick and level of concentration that is unprecedented. Inky bluish purple, with an extraordinary nose of framboise, black raspberries, spring flowers, spice box, and a hint of truffle, the wine has great depth, full-bodied opulence, silky tannins, enormous power and richness, but again, a vibrancy and uplift that are just freakish in this vintage. That's one of the great hallmarks of 2009 and one that will always stand out over the next 30 years... Robert Parker

Probably a bit premature in 6L format (well, very - by about 30 years) but still evidencing great winemaking - well integrated, rich red fruits, tannins starting to smooth

Monumental, a dense and powerful Pomeroy, a tall spine of tannic structure fleshed out with silky and plush Merlot red fruits and subtle spices. #pomerol #merlot

WOTN for me. Huge wine with brooding tannins. Jean Valmy told me he picked earlier than anyone else that year before large rains hit Pomerol
