Chateau Le Bon Pasteur 2019 (NM 96, JS 96)

Pomerol

Vinous | Rating: 96
The 2019 Le Bon Pasteur is different in style to previous vintages, and I mean that in a positive sense. This is very elegant and classic in style, pure dark cherry and blueberry fruit entwined with a touch of truffle. The palate is well balanced with gentle grip, slightly chalky in texture with well judged acidity, harmonious with a creamier finish, a hint of salted liquorice lingering on the aftertaste. Excellent. Tasted three times with consistent notes.

A tight, focused red with blackberry and dark-chocolate character. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Tannin driven. Muscular.
