Chateau Bourgneuf, Pomerol 2018

"Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Bourgneuf has a fragrant notes of lavender, kirsch, black truffles and cinnamon toast over a core of blackberry pie and Black Forest cake with a waft of woodsmoke. The intense, medium to full-bodied palate packs in the black fruit layers, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and savory." – Wine Advocate

"This is a powerful Pomerol with dense, layered tannins that coat the mouth and show so much intensity and richness. It’s full-bodied and chewy. A wine that’s structured for the long term." – James Suckling
