A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2012 Providence exhibits an earthy, new saddle leather, spicy, masculine style that is less expressive than most Pomerols. There is plenty of density, power and richness, but the wine seems monolithic and somewhat unformed at present. I suspect it will come around given how recent vintages have performed, but for now, it is closed and inaccessible.

The masculine, dense 2011 La Providence is not dissimilar from the great Trotanoy. It reveals a dense ruby/purple color, surprisingly deep, full-bodied fruit, more bulk, weight and richness than most wines from this vintage, and a long, moderately tannic finish. It will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring, and keep for two decades.

Gentle medium-bodied wine. Fragrant and fruit driven on the palate. It has a certain elegance but also a nip of rusticity on the finish. Drink 2016-2024. (15.5 points)

Chistian Moueix 使得 Providence 獲得重生。該款酒陽剛強勁，帶有豐富的礦物質(zhì)氣息，并伴有濃郁的李子、黑莓、黑醋栗的味道，單寧豐富，豐郁而有深度。此款經(jīng)典的 2010 年份的酒在風(fēng)格與個性上與 Moueix 莊園的 Chateau Trotanoy 相似。需窖藏 5-6 年。適飲期：25-30 年內(nèi)。
