Its dense purple color is accompanied by a big, sweet nose of white chocolate, creme de cassis, licorice, tar, and toast. A lively, crisp acid profile is due to lack of serious heat in 2008. Texture and long, it is capable of lasting a decade or more. this is a sleeper of the vintage. The reference point for Lalande de Pomerol is Hubert de Bouard's property.
Note: 90-93

The undisputed reference point for high quality in Lalande de Pomerol, this 50 acres estate produces a blend of 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2006 tips the scales at 13.5% natural alcohol. A beautiful effort, it offers sweet black cherry fruit interwomen with notes of licorice, pain grillé, and expresso roast.
