This offers dark. moneral aromatics, allied to sweetly spiced blackberry. There is attractive density of fruit complemented by vibrant acidity. Surprisingly silky, beautifully extracted and impeccably balanced.

Canny observers have noted the almost inexorable rise of this great estate to the highest level in Pomerol. Partly because of its affinity with Pétrus, through a shared soil structure of pure clay that runs through a significant part of the vineyard (and from which its name “Trop Ennuie” or “too much hard work” derives) and partly because of an extensive replanting programme at the beginning of the 1980s it has now achieved a perfect level of maturity and quality. Deepest ruby in colour and quite opaque, this is a sleeping giant on the nose, broodingly rich, and spicy with an old vine perfume. The palate is measured and profound with darkly rich, layered, supple silken fruits, producing not only a sonorous, powerful structure but a pure, fresh “attack” to the finish which again is in perfect balance; a hallmark of the best qualities of what is unquestionably a Pomerol vintage. Great wine.
