Blanc

Pomerol is a bit under the spotlight these days. Following TASTE and a great story from Denis Hervier, Neal Martin, on Robert Parker’s site, tasted many Pomerol, known, lesser known, rare, some rated 94 others 77. Clos du Beau Père 2008 got 88 and a good comment, Fleur de Gay 2008 94 and La Violette 2008 89.
