Reviews
James Suckling 93
Aromas of dark plums, blackcurrants, tea, mint chocolate, charred bark, walnuts and spices. Some lemon zest, too. It's medium-to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Plush and textured with a chewy finish. 85% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon.

The 2019 Vieux Maillet is aromatic, effusive and charming right out of the gate. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha, chocolate, expresso and licorice lend striking aromatic nuance. There is plenty of depth and fine balance to this decidedly extroverted Pomerol.

Superripe Merlot gives a wine that is succulent, rich, and densely packed with balanced blackberry fruits and solid tannins. The wine's layers of ripeness promise great things.

Savoury tones on the nose, some salinity and truffle alongside perfumed blackcurrant fruit. Savouriness on the palate too here, this is quite expansive with layers of dark and dried fruits but also a saltiness that is so appealing. The texture is lovely, just velvety and smooth, it courses across the palate, mouth coating but in a gentle and fine way. Good persistence, richly fruited and mineral with excellent overall freshness. One I wanted another glass of. 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
