2019 Château Plince
Pomerol, Bordeaux, France
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This silky, soulful red gives youthful flavors of crimson plum, cherry, vanilla, tobacco, olive tapenade, leather and teriyaki. Sensual and voluminous with a soft structure and a long, lingering, complex finish, it is a classic representation of the premium Pomerol commune. At today's price, it also happens to be a rare Pomerol value!
"Gorgeously expressive nose, ripe and fresh red berry fruits and a soft smokiness that's so appealing. Velvet tannins fill the mouth cushioning the blackcurrant and black cherry fruit. There's more smoked notes on the palate too giving it a touch of savouriness against the ripe, jammy fruit alongside leather, truffle black pepper, liquorice and mint with some salinity towards the end. A muscular style, dark and brooding, clearly flexing its power but with absolute charm. Lovely. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2036."

“Blueberries and cocoa powder, as well as lavender and blackberries on the nose. Full-bodied with tight, focused tannins that are lean and racy, in a clear way. Just a hint of tar and ash at the end. Chewy and fine. Best after 2027."
