Brasil is out but Pomerol is in

WC keep giving upsetting results, so again last Friday. First half with full control and lead to Brasil was enjoyed with a nice but somewhat light Pommard made by Vincent Gerardin. Smoky cherries on the nose with velvety taste which was perhaps a bit on the short side. Worth the money, but not overwhelming quality.
Pommard Vielles Vignes, Vincent Gerardin Score ca 17,00


Second half turned out to be a fullbodied performance by the Dutch and to match the surprise turn of the game a lovely Pomerol was poured in the glasses. Earth, plum and cherries, silky texture with big well balanced mouthful. Lovely stuff these Pomerol wines, just like a solid Burgundy, but oh so expensive....
Incidently the owner also has a property in Burgundy..say no more
Ch Rouget 2004, Pomerol one of the better low priced ones Ca 18,00

Rouget = mediterranean rock fish...
