Fantastic.

Pomerol may be my favorite appellation in 2005 Bordeaux.

Gazin wins in this vintage. All the hallmarks of classic Pomerol. Dank earth, pungent garlic, plummy dark fruits with a bit of a sweet liquor note with no heat. Tannins still a little chewy and chalky. This is a very structured wine, but it is starting to enter the early stages of its optimal drinking window. Paired fantastically with a pepperoni pizza, wood grilled.

I have to admit that I have an affinity for this very muscular style of Pomerol.

Thank you Robert, just looked at a few of these in storage and left them behind. Maybe time to test drive one based on your note. Cheers

Agree and I as well love Gazin, very different when I think of how a Pomerol should be, more savoury and muscular as you said. I loved my 2015s could not keep my hands off them. Cheers
