Tasting notes
A good Pomerol for the vintage, Alain Moueix’s 2002 exhibits a deep ruby/purple-tinged color along with sweet notes of cherries, dried herbs, pain grille, and spice. Rich, medium-bodied, and well-balanced, with light to moderate tannin in the finish, it should be consumed over the next decade. This up-and-coming estate is in the capable hands of Alain Moueix. Prices are realistic for such a limited production Pomerol.

Very deep purple. Aromatic, lively. So much acidity though that it's almost mean. (JR)
Saturated dark ruby. Aromas of cassis, tar and bitter chocolate. Juicy, intense and tightly wound, with pronounced acidity. A rather extractive style, but the firm, late-arriving tannins are not dry, and there's good lingering fruit.
