With hand-picked fruit from a site close to the church of Pomerol, this wine is stunning. The blend is 90% Merlot, with the rest being Cabernet. First tasted with Emeric from Vinectar and was blown away. Ripe red fruit and subtle oak, unmistakably Bordeaux, dryish finish. Such a pleasure to drink.

Located on the great plateau of Pomerol and made from 2 small parcels of vines in the village of Riffat. Marrying power with finesse this would be a great gift for a lover of Bordeaux and will age well if tucked away.

Esteemed appellations like Margaux produce wonderfully rich yet tannic wines with generous acidity, fruit and smoothness. Flavours of dried Sultanas and Dates in the background behind a just ripe Plummy taste to the fore. This wine comes into its own when served with food, particularly roasted red meats.

We tasted this wine with Manuel from the winery, it's a very fruit forward and modern style of Rioja. Wild Strawberries and herbs with an inkling of Sweet Spice. Oak is used sparingly but is noticeable on the finish.
