Pomerol is hitting out the Bordeaux values that last couple of years. Not many appellations can sell a Grand Cru wine for under $35 USD except Pomerol (and couple of others).

Good price? technically their bottom level but i have always loved these wines. for that money, i would think excellent buying. and a lot more age on it than we would typically see retail here. so i hope it had been stored well. did you enjoy it?

Storage fine. I wasn't sure where this fit in their portfolio. I use to like their Woodcutter's Reserve. A little too fruity and alcohol for me. Lovely orange and tangerine flavors mixed in. It was stored fine as these were from a premier wine store for Northeast US (in clearance bin). Australian wines have massively declined in popularity in the US, their wine guy commented. Then I realized I don't own any and never order a bottle at a restaurant. This wine had been sitting in their basement and was swept out with a lot of other random wines. The Woodcutter's was much better than this or my memory is getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Woodcutter's was much better than this or my memory is getting old. woodcutter's would be a step up. though lots has changed there as the winemaker (we all thought he was the owner), dave powell, got the flick and now does his own thing. not seen his new wines yet. this would have been one of his. it would be designed to be simple and fruity and easy and fun. here, it is drunk very young. never seen one get that old! imagine it as a simple easy drinking style, almost mid rank beaujolais in comparison (not style comparison). their serious wines are about 10 or 20 times the price and can be very good. aussie sales definitely down in some areas. i never understood how it all went. americans, largely thanks to parker, jumped on the big rich hot alcoholic reds, largely barossa shiraz and a few others. some are excellent wines, if in balance, but many were horrible and they were going for ridiculous prices. we never saw many of them here. winemakers knew they would not be that well received and could get squillions for them in the states so off they went. that was never sustainable. then rosemount/penfolds had their hiccup and yellowtail jumped in. i think they still sell shiploads but it is aimed at a market that likes sweetness and could not give a toss about grapes etc. which is fine. so many of our top wines never get there or get there in tiny quantities. they are working on changing this and these are the wines which will eventually make the reputation. but these things do take time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
