This opulent, sexy 2009 Rouget is composed of primarily Merlot blended with a touch of Cabernet Franc. Sandy, loamy soil notes interwoven with kirsch and Provencal garrigue jump from the glass of this full-bodied, opulent, rich Pomerol. Abundant fruit on the attack, mid-palate and finish characterize this over-achiever. Consume it over the next 15 years. Robert Parker

Good example of a top year Pom @ £40 that's good now but could be great in years to come

Beautiful aroma with lusty, full-bodied feel to it. Rich and fruity to the taste, very well balance. Hint of ripe fruit to the tongue. A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. 92RP points
