Chateau Taillefer, Pomerol, France 2016 Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo floral bouquet with crushed violet

floral bouquet with crushed violet petals infusing the ripe black cherry and cassis fruit

Shows a light piney hint before bright chamomile and honeysuckle aromas fill in

There is solid density to the punchy medium-bodied flavors that possess a lovely sense of detail that is enhanced by the relatively fine-grained tannins shaping the youthfully austere

Closes taut and long

Chateau Taillefer, Pomerol, France 2016 Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo floral bouquet with crushed violetThe 2016 Taillefer is a straightforward, easygoing Pomerol endowed with quite a bit of near and medium term appeal. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, cedar and mint are all nicely lifted. I would prefer to drink this racy, mid weight Pomerol over the next decade or so. 91 Pts Vinous
