"Bordeaux is typically not a wine that makes you want to shake, rattle, or roll. But that's about to change, thanks to this new cuvée from Olivier Techer, the youngster running things at Gombaude-Guillot. His idea is to take out the components that make Bordeaux uncool—heavy oak, big tannins, and the pursuit of high scores—leaving just vivid fresh fruit and suave tannins in a radically drinkable expression of this pedigreed terroir. This is Pomerol like we've never seen before: delicious, unpretentious, with its hair let down and the amp turned up. Decant it if you've got time, then pour yourself a glass and move to the rhythm."
Voluptuous on the palate, this wine features extremely fine, firm, and sweet tannins along with bitter chocolate, cherries, and sweet spice flavours. Its outstanding acidity gives the wine a youthful, refreshing feeling, which gives an excellent cellaring potential.
