L'Hospitalet de Gazin 2009 Pomerol (75cl)

A Merlot-led Pomerol from the 2009 vintage, with over fifteen years in bottle. Pomerol sits on Bordeaux's right bank, where Merlot leads the blend, making the wines rounder and softer than Cabernet-led left bank reds. Older bottles vary, so it should be treated as a bottle with age. Stand it upright for a day before opening, pour gently and decant off any sediment. Aged Merlot-led Pomerol usually moves towards dried plum, earth and a softer texture, suited to roast meat or a slow-cooked dinner.
