Château Pomeaux – 2005 – Pomerol

Quite a dense colour here. A high intensity with a black-purple core and a ruby rim. The nose indicates, however, a bit more evolution here. There is a complexity here. With fine spiciness, some notes of leather, a lot of wild berry fruit; like blackberry, raspberry. A slight earthy hint like black truffle as well. Good density on the palate. Very dense actually. I think the nose indicated a certain evolution, but there is still this firm core of tannin. High intensity of fruit. So very dense with a very good length. There is an approaching complexity because on the finish it is really a long finish with a lot of layers of spiciness going on. So, I would call this a high potent wine. Highly potent wine, with a good potential for development. Just still on the palate it is a bit young it needs some aeration, it needs some more time in the cellar, but a quite promising example.
