Healthy medium ruby. Pomerol-like aromas of redcurrant, iron, tobacco and mocha torrefaction. Wonderfully pliant, fleshy and full, showing less complexity in the early going than the 2010 version but more obvious sweetness to its berry, mineral and floral flavors. This big, ripe, seamless wine boasts excellent vinosity. The very long, rising finish features ripe, granular tannins and lingering notes of mocha, dried flowers and tobacco. I'd love to throw this into a blind tasting of 2009 Pomerols. (14.1% alcohol; all French oak, 90% new) (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, July 2019)

Super impressed. Decanted 2 hrs. Dense black fruit just shy of a hammer. Would not have guessed Merlot (mostly) or Napa if I’d tasted blind. One of the more memorable wines I’ve had from the vintage.

Loved the wine. Drank Harlan Estate first so it was pale compared. Decant and filter.
