This is a positive and forceful effort from Bourgneuf, which tends to produce tannic and rustic wines. The 2012 is neither astringent, earthy nor too rustic. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of black currants, black cherries, cola, forest floor and coffee beans. Fresh and medium to full-bodied with excellent concentration and a nicely textured, clean finish, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years.

The charmless 2011 Bourgneuf displays hints of wet dog, aged beef, plum sauce, black currants and cherries. While adequate, it lacks finesse and appeal. Drink it over the next decade.

此款厚實的 Pomerol 酒體適中，單寧粗糙，集中度并非很好（這對于一款 2010 年的酒來說是令人驚奇的），呈現(xiàn)出明顯的泥土、秋天、蔬菜的特征。適飲期： 未來 7 至 10 年內(nèi)。

There is always a lot of material in Bourgneuf, but the rustic tannins and somewhat aggressive style always leave me looking for more charm and equilibrium. In the 2009, the tannins are high and the color a dense plum/purple. The wine is meaty, herbal and fleshy, with a certain astringency and bitterness in the finish. If that ages out, the wine will certainly deserve a score in the upper 80s.

The 2008 exhibits a dense color, hard tannins and a lean, austere, ungenerous personality. It is best consumed early in life before it dries out.
