This is a good Lalande de Pomerol, there are big tannins as you find in many wines in this region in 2020, but this has real juice and precision behind it, and is an excellent wine. Expect bitter chocolate and espresso shots on the finish but backed up by bilberry and cassis.

This has aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, dark chocolate and black olives. Medium-bodied and creamy with firm, supple tannins. Focused and dark-fruited.

2020 Tournefeuille has a composed bouquet with blackberry, boysenberry and touches of wild mint. This unfolds with confidence in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet plummy fruit, sea salt and touches of dark chocolate, especially towards the finish.

Overlooking the Pomerol plateau, this small property is rich with tannins and spice. The wine is still structured and young- a ripe wine, packed with Merlot juiciness.
