A serious red, offering lots of blackberries and chocolate with a walnut undertone. It is full-bodied with hazelnuts and spice. Chewy, yet polished.

The 2019 Vieux Maillet is aromatic, effusive and charming right out of the gate. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha, chocolate, expresso and licorice lend striking aromatic nuance. There is plenty of depth and fine balance to this decidedly extroverted Pomerol.

Superripe Merlot gives a wine that is succulent, rich, and densely packed with balanced blackberry fruits and solid tannins. The wine's layers of ripeness promise great things.
