About the wine
A true showstopping berry-rich red from a vintage to be remembered
- A bottle or a glass of Pomerol should always be a treat - and this one is no exception. It’s still a dark black-purple in colour, as you’d expect from the supremely generous 2018 vintage, with svelte, sweetly defined fresh plum and black cherry fruits billowing from the glass.
- On the palate, it is concentrated and deep with ample black fruit flavours (more plum than cherry), sustaining though unforced acidity and plenty of ripe skin tannins in soft, tongue-coating style.
- This ample wine is open and welcoming already -- indeed it’s hard to resist. But there’d be no harm, either, in keeping it for up to a decade: there’s plenty in its rucksack, and much fun to be had along the way."

Meet the winemaker - Naked Marketplace
Every week, on our travels or back at HQ, we come across wines that taste amazing but weren’t made for us by Naked winemakers
At the price and quality, we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t make them available to you. So we list them without a winemaker or a story under Naked Marketplace
They’re generally parcels and one-offs, so once they’re gone, they’re gone!
