Chateau Plince 2019 Pomerol
weiteres von

13 Jan, 2022 – Blueberries and cocoa powder, as well as lavender and blackberries on the nose. Full-bodied with tight, focused tannins that are lean and racy, in a clear way. Just a hint of tar and ash at the end. Chewy and fine. Best after 2027.

The 2019 Plince is a burly, rustic Pomerol. There is certainly a good bit of depth, but the tannins are coarse and very much present in the wine's overall feel. Dark cherry, plum, leather, licorice and game build into the hearty, resonant finish.

The 2019 Plince has a well-defined nose of blackberry, blueberry and quite potent incense/potpourri aromas that flourish with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, and quite strict and linear, perhaps displaying just a bit of hardness toward the briny finish. Afford this 3–4 years in bottle – it has more to give.

The blue-fruit and lavender character is exciting with some violets and black fruit. too. It’s full and firm with fine-toned tannins and a long. intense finish.

Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2019 Plince rolls out of the glass wearing a lot of woody/cedar scents. before offering up notes of baked plums. blackberry pie and stewed black cherries with wafts of chargrill and tilled soil in the background. Medium to full-bodied. the palate has appealing freshness and nice. ripe grape tannins with a chewy component from the obvious wood. finishing savory.

The 2019 Plince is clean and pure on the nose with perfumed violets and incense infusing the black cherries and bilberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins. a fine thread of acidity. moderate depth and a touch of balsamic enlivening the finish. Delightful.
