Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2007 Bordeaux tasting. The 2007 La Grave a Pomerol slightly exceeded my expectations. There is a slight aloofness on the nose at first, but with aeration this gradually unfolds to reveal pleasant, black truffle and smoke-tinged black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with leafy black fruit, quite herbaceous in style but in a positive sense, since it is supported by freshness and vitality. This is a perfectly decent early-drinking Pomerol. Tasted March 2015.
