Tour Maillet Pomerol 2018

91+ points Jeb Dunnuck: “Lots of ripe blue fruits, rare steak, smoke tobacco, and chocolate notes emerge from the 2018 Château Tour Maillet (Lagardere), a ripe, medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced Pomerol with solid mid-palate depth and outstanding length. Building nicely with time in the glass, it has ripe, focused tannins, a solid spine of acidity, and a good balance between its fruit and structure. It’s relatively closed for business at the moment, so give bottles 3-5 years if possible, and it should shine over the following decade. Drink: 2024-2034. (3/11/21)”
